A Sanctuary Church in Action; 'Imagine Amnesty'; Monday Morning Politics; Data and Public Policy

The Brian Lehrer Show | Jan 29, 2018

Coming up on today's show:

  • After two Indonesian immigrants were arrested by ICE in Metuchen, NJ, on Thursday, and another avoided arrest by not answering his door, Rev. Seth Kaper-Dale, senior co-pastor of the Reformed Church of Highland Park in New Jersey, talks about his church's work as a sanctuary for immigrants and refugees in the area.

  • Imagine if all law-abiding unauthorized immigrants, and all residents with some form of temporary permit, were granted permanent legal status tomorrow. What would life be like? What would change? Listeners call in to talk through this thought experiment.
  • Edward-Isaac Dovere, chief White House correspondent for Politico, discusses the top national news stories.

  • Virginia Eubanks, associate professor of political science at the University at Albany, SUNY, a founding member of the Our Data Bodies Project, a fellow at New America and the author of Automating Inequality: How High-Tech Tools Profile, Police, and Punish the Poor (St. Martin's Press, 2018), warns of the use of data mining and algorithms in public policy and providing public services.
