What Immigration Policy Looks Like on the Arizona Border

Midday on WNYC | Jan 30, 2018

Jeff Reinhardt and Alicia Dinsmore, volunteers with immigrant aid organization No More Deaths, and Geoff Boyce, postdoctoral research fellow at the School of Geography and Development at the University of Arizona, talk about the struggles No More Deaths has encountered in Arizona, including the recent arrests of their volunteers at the border. The group documented years of disappearances, border patrol abuses, and other findings in a recent online report. They will also discuss this report, as well as the history of immigration policies and how these have played out on the ground. 

This segment is guest hosted by Jonathan Capehart.
