Thousands of migrants, many of whom are seeking asylum as they escape violence, extreme poverty, and oppression, are stopped at the U.S. border. The lack of resources available to them is a serious life-and-death concern. Adding to the many other hurdles is a language disconnect for Indigenous migrants. Wednesday on Native America Calling, we'll get an update on the crisis at the US-Mexican border and how it affects Indigenous people from Mexico and Central and South America with Odilia Romero (Zapotec), co-founder and executive director of Comunidades Indigenas en Liderazgo (CIELO); Javier Garcia (San Martín Peras from Juxtlahuaca in Oaxaca), interpreters program coordinator for the Mixteco/Indigena Community Organizing Project; and attorney Allegra Love.

Have we come to a place where we are numb? Numb from the onslaught of one unthinkable act after the other ? This may be true because we have lost our appetite for taking in any more bad news since Trump. Are we unable to find compassion these days? We must never close our hearts to children who are suffering. We have a responsibility to the children who are undergoing unimaginable consequences because their families have fled the violence in Central America risking everything to find safety for their children...these families have no other choice but to get their kids out of harms way but six children have died in our custody. Six children who came here to escape death. We are paying tribute to these six lives a well as to all the children who are in our custody in this episode today on America Speaks. Immigration attorney Allegra Love is joining us again to reflect on what she is seeing on the Texas and new Mexican border, and brings clarity the brutal circumstances these families are enduring as they wait for their asylum application to be processed.

Allegra Love, director of the Sante Fe Dreamer's Project and a tireless immigration attorney, devotes 24/7 to representing asylum seekers escaping the unforgiving violence in Central America. Allegra is these families best hope. She offers her legal services for free to those who have no other options than to put themselves at the mercy of the U.S. immigration court system. Her clients have endured great hardships and trauma in their native countries and the journey to the U.S. with young children only to find the merciless treatment at the hands of border patrol, ICE and the Trump administration. Allegra unpacks the full challenge of her daily efforts as she represent these families.
We have learned a great deal about ourselves as Americans since Donald Trump was sworn in as president. His administration has provoked us to examine who we want to be as a people and as a country. What has become evident is how ugly the moral character of those who have harvested the president’s policies of hate and persecution. It is simply shameful behavior by lawmakers to turn away from these families that have risked their lives to escape terror, violence, and extortion Our government would prefer to single out these families, and further impact their lives and their children’s lives, placing them in detention, all because they have committed a misdemeanor, a minor infraction like a traffic violation, Allegra Love is devoting her life to fighting for justice and freedom for those who have been persecuted by Session’s and Trump inhuman policies. Rounding up human beings, who are here because they are suffering and separating families from their children is no less vulgar than what we witness from the Third Reich. And placing ankle bracelets on toddlers, some so tight creating infection in their tiny ankles, to demonstrate what ? All in the name of our sovereignty ? This is not about illegal entry. This is about what direction we will allow our nation to go in. Our treatment of these families marks a definitive stand that we approve of these crimes against humanity. I want to thank Allegra Love and all the attorneys who are devoting their lives to fighting for the rights of migrants whose only crime is to seek a safe future for their children.

Bonus: extra interview with Allegra Love https://www.patreon.com/posts/8554342 On this episode we talk to immigration lawyer Allegra Love about what undocumented workers can do and what we can do to support them. Then we talk to Christine Henderson of Equal Justice USA, about Rick Scott's unprecedented removal of a state attorney who won't be seeking the penalty. She happens to be the first African American state attorney in Florida's history. At the very same time, another state attorney, Katherine Fernandez Rundle, is still in power after deciding not to prosecute a single person involved in the death of a schizophrenic African American inmate who was burned to death in a shower whose temperature was caused by guards. It turns out Rundle has two loser sons with multiple arrests. They're alive, however, and one is even a lawyer. I go over Rundle's pathetic and dishonest q & a on why she won't prosecute anyone. Plus Gorsuch's demon mother and demon voice.
