PROGRAM #11074 12:00 PM PT 

Know Your Rights: No Deportation to Third Countries. 

A federal judge ruled that the Trump administration cannot deport immigrants to a third country without first attempting to send them to the nation listed in their final removal order. The decision also requires advance notice to guarantee due process and allow individuals to challenge the action. What to do if facing deportation? What steps should be taken? How to apply for suspension of deportation?

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

Fear and Absenteeism in the Fields. Immigration raids and widespread fear have led to labor losses across agricultural fields in California and other parts of the country, according to recent investigations. How are these enforcement actions disrupting farm operations? How are growers coping with the loss of workers?

Guest: Dr. William Lopez, Clinical Associate Professor and Associate Chair, Department of Health Behavior and Health Equity, University of Michigan School of Public Health, Ann Arbor, MI.

Blockage in Naturalization Processes. A growing slowdown in naturalization procedures in the United States—including denials, delays, and the suspension of citizenship interviews—could leave thousands of applicants in legal limbo during an election year. What evidence supports these concerns? Why are the delays occurring? How are citizenship applicants being affected?

Guest: Nicole Melaku, Executive Director, National Partnership for New Americans-NPNA, Chicago, IL.
