Fighting for Immigrants (with Joyce Vance & Lee Gelernt)
Episode description
On this special episode of CAFE Insider, Joyce Vance interviews Lee Gelernt, the Deputy Director of the ACLU’s Immigrants’ Rights Project.
Gelernt is one of the country’s leading civil rights lawyers. During the Trump administration, he filed lawsuits challenging the White House’s most draconian immigration policies, including the ban on individuals from certain Muslim-majority countries and the family separation policy at the border. Now, Gelernt is actively litigating a case against the Biden administration for its use of a Trump-era public health policy to expel migrants at the border.
To hear Joyce’s full conversation with Gelernt, where he discusses the status of the Trump administration’s border separation policy and reflects on national security law in the wake of 9/11, become a member of CAFE Insider and get the first two weeks free: www.cafe.com/insider
