Today on Sojourner Truth: Using COVID-19 as an excuse, the Trump administration has been deporting migrant children without notifying their family members. At the same time, it is trying to do an end run around the Flores Agreement. The agreement protects migrant children by limiting the number of days they can be held in detention. It stops them from being held indefinitely. Our guest is Peter Schey, the executive director of the Center for Human Rights and Constitutional Law. For our weekly Earth Watch, Florida prisons are becoming growing hot spots for COVID-19 in that state. Our guest is Ruddy Turnstone, a community organizer working towards prison abolition and decarceration as a steering committee member of the COVID-19 Hotline for Incarcerated People (CHIP). Why is Donald Trump going after the U.S. Post Office? Our guest is Scott Klinger, the senior equitable development specialist at Jobs with Justice and an associate fellow at the Institute for Policy Studies. Lastly, our weekly Earth Minute, presented by Anne Petermann of the Global Justice Ecology Project.

Join us with special guest Alan Zibel of Public Citizen (www.citizen.org) as we discuss Alan's recent report titled "Detained for Profit: Spending Surges under U.S. Immigration Crackdown". For-profit prisons play a key role in U.S. immigration detentions and receive billions each year of our taxpayer dollars.  Are for-profit prisons a good or bad idea?  How do immigration policies like the Flores Agreement impact the number of immigrant detainees arriving at our southern border?  What are potential solutions to ensure immigrant children and families aren't waiting months for their immigration cases to be heard?  Read Alan's report for yourself here: https://www.citizen.org/article/detained-for-profit-spending-surges-under-u-s-immigration-crackdown/

MSNBC’s Chief Legal Correspondent Ari Melber reports on The Flores Agreement, a decades-old court settlement that is now more important than ever. The case controls how immigrant minors are treated in detention -- and is central to Trump’s family separation crisis.  In this special report, Melber examines how Trump's immigration agenda is thwarted by this Clinton-era case, how Trump actually echoes Obama on the immigration ruling but differs on protecting human rights, and what Congress can do to reform the entire system. 

Today we dive into what's known as the Flores Settlement Agreement that governs how the U.S. detains children who come into the country without proper authorization. The Trump administration is proposing major changes that could include indefinite detention of children and denying them education while being detained. We speak to Raquel E. Aldana, Associate Vice Chancellor for Academic Diversity and a Professor of Law at UC Davis. Then, in the second half of today's program, we talk about Western classical history and the connection to today's Alt-Right with Classist Sarah Teets. She is a post-doctoral fellow in the College of Arts and Science at the University of Virginia. Her article Classical Slavery and Jeffersonian Racism: Charlottesville, One Year Later can be found online here.   The post Understanding the Flores Agreement & White Supremacy's Connection to Classical History appeared first on KPFA.

Today on Sojourner Truth: Trump intends to impose tariffs on all goods coming from Mexico, despite opposition from the GOP caucus. Meanwhile, bowing to demands from Trump, Mexico is already cracking down on migrants coming from El Salvador, Honduras and Guatemala before they reach the U.S. border. Also, Trump is redefining what a humanitarian crisis means, referring now to a humanitarian crisis at the border, while ignoring the real humanitarian crisis of human suffering. This includes children who were detained by ICE and still not returned to their families, families kept in detention centers under questionable conditions, children being detained for long periods of time in violation of the Flores Agreement, which is law, and the deaths of children. Most recently, a trans migrant from El Salvador died while they were being held in U.S. custody. Joining us to discuss this and more is Jose Luis Granados Ceja, a writer and photojournalist based in Mexico City. And what to do about the worlds oldest profession? Rachel West of US PROStitutes Collective joins us to discuss movements to decriminalize sex work. Also, Dr. Melina Abdullah joins us for our weekly Campaigners for Black Lives Series focusing on the California Act to Save Lives (AB 392) and the Black Lives Matter movement.
