Migrant children are still missing. Families are still separated. On this episode, the LMC speaks with librettist Anna Deeny Morales and attorney Sergio Garcia to discuss the opera “Zavala Zavala” and why we need to continue talking about migrant family separation.
Anna Deeny Morales is also a Center for Latin American Studies fellow and Adjunct Professor at Georgetown University in Washington, DC. Sergio Garcia is an Assistant Federal Public Defender for the Western District of Texas.
Almost five years after the largest ICE raid in US history devastated Mississippi’s immigrant community, the LMC speaks with Lorena Quiroz, the founder and director of the Immigrant Alliance for Justice & Equity, about the challenges immigrant whistleblowers still face in Mississippi’s meat-packing industry.
As the militarization of the border in Texas continues to increase under governor Greg Abbott, the LMC spends the hour with Heidi Beirich, the co-founder of the Global Project Against Hate & Extremism, about how continuing militarization has become a magnet for armed hate groups.
