Today's guest hosts are Brent J. Cohen and Charlotte Hancock, Executive Director and Communications Director for Generation Progress.

This week's show is about another group of people being uniquely impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic—undocumented immigrants and people who are being detained by immigration enforcement agencies. Many undodcumented people are on the frontlines of coronavirus response—whether they are healthcare providers or essential employees making sure that basic necessities are still available to the general public—but, even during a pandemic, they are forced to worry about whether or not they will be able to remain in this country. As we wait for a decision from the Supreme Court on the DACA case, even Dreamers who previously had a certain degree of security about their immigration status are now being forced to consider that everything might change. Meanwhile, people who are already being detained by ICE or CBP are in immediate danger of the pandemic spreading rapidly through detention facilities, where they will almost certainly not receive adequate care.

To talk more about this situation and what can be done to protect vulnerable people, the show is joined by Sanaa Abrar, the advocacy director at United We Dream and Setareh Ghandehari, the advocacy manager at the Detention Watch Network.
