Immigrations catalyst moments with Silky Shah
b'
Hello from Washington state!\\xa0
This week, we\\u2019re joined by Silky Shah, executive director of Detention Watch Network and repeat pod guest, to chat about immigration (and, briefly, Nathan Fielder\\u2019s bizarre new show, \\u201cThe Rehearsal\\u201d).\\xa0
We start by diving into Caitlin Dickerson\\u2019s exhaustive report, in The Atlantic, on the Trump administration\'s family-separation policy. We reflect on the unique horrors of that period, while locating them in a longer history of cruelty toward immigrants, up to the present.\\xa0
Silky also outlines the current immigration landscape, including Biden\\u2019s continuation of Trump\\u2019s Title 42 policy (which blocks migration ostensibly on public-health grounds). She explains how the misguided theory of deterrence has governed immigration policy under both Democratic and Republican administrations, aided by skewed media narratives, and suggests what the immigrant-rights movement should do to prepare for the next mass-organizing moment.\\xa0
