Racial Profiling Prohibited

TUESDAY, JULY 22
PROGRAM #10843 12:00 PM PT

Racial Profiling Prohibited. 

After more than a month of ICE patrols, raids, and indiscriminate arrests, a federal judge in Los Angeles has issued a temporary halt to such detentions in California. The ruling bans arrests based on racial profiling and workplace location. What cases prompted this decision? How did the judge come to hold ICE accountable for racial profiling? What precedent does this court order set?

Guest: Mayra Joachin, Deputy Director, Immigrants’ Rights Project, and Senior Staff Attorney, American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) of Southern California, Los Angeles, CA.

Legalization for Farmworkers? In response to deportation raids in California, Florida, and New Mexico’s fields, some members of Congress are once again pushing for agricultural labor reforms, despite ongoing challenges to these efforts. The Farm Workforce Modernization Act was reintroduced in the House of Representatives in May, after failing in previous sessions. What are the odds this time around?

Guest: Erica Lomeli Corcoran, Civic Participation and Policy Director, United Farm Workers (UFW) Foundation, Los Angeles, CA.

Know Your Rights. In response to recent ICE raids, a city mayor is urging residents to stay home, and a university has shifted from in-person to virtual classes. Federal agents have entered hospitals. How can you prepare an emergency plan in case of an encounter with ICE? What should you know about ICE’s deceptive arrest tactics?

Guest: Alma Rosa Nieto, Immigration Attorney, Los Angeles, CA.
