As the country continues to see mass arrests of migrants in courtrooms and in viral videos, the LMC spends the hour with Ernesto Castaneda from the Immigration Lab and the Center for Latino American and Latino Studies at American University to discuss migrant realities vs the myths that lead to racist, xenophobic government policies.
Ernesto Castaneda is also the author of, “Challenging Common Misperceptions.”
Following a racist, xenophobic ad by the US Department of Homeland Security that ran on Mexico’s airwaves last April, freelance writer Kurt Hackbarth breaks down Mexico’s corporate media structure and how this controversy may lead to reforms in the country’s telecommunications laws.
Kurt Hackbarth is also the host of the Sobrania Podcast.
On this episode, the LMC welcomes Venezuelan sociologist María Páez Victor to break down the criminalization of Venezuelan migrants and the myth of the Tren de Aragua gang narrative in corporate media.
