Slamming the Door Shut: How the Government is Turning Away Asylum Seekers
Update: 2022-08-03
Description
In 2020, the Center for Disease Control relied on an obscure law from 1944 to close our southern borders to asylum seekers, under the guise of protecting the public from COVID-19. Why do we use the term "under the guise"? Because top public health experts believe turning away asylum seekers under this law doesn't actually protect us from COVID.
In this episode, we're joined by Nicole Ramos from Al Otro Lado. Nicole lives and works in Tijuana as a fearless advocate for thousands seeking asylum in the U.S. Nicole talks to us first-hand about the impact of this policy of on human lives.
