Today, federal immigration officials confirmed they were sending the family home from Texas. Also: A popular Medicaid program could get a pause in a reorganization that worried people with disabilities.

The headlines are full of the cruel, unjust, illegal, unconstitutional, and costly treatment of immigrants by the Trump administration. Here's my 2019 conversation with SISTERS CONSTANCE TOUEY and JEANNETTE LUCEY. They met in 1984 when both were assigned to a parish K-8 school in inner city Philadelphia. Their book, DO IT BETTER: How the Kids of St. Francis de Sales Exceeded Everyone's Expectations tells the stories of their 30+ years as principal and 8th grade teacher as they educate and transform the lives of wave after wave of poor immigrant children. I'm proud to have written the book with them.

Emma Mordecai lived an unusual life. She was Jewish when Jews comprised less than 1 percent of the population of the Old South, and unmarried in a culture that offered women few options other than marriage. She was American born when most American Jews were immigrants. She affirmed and maintained her dedication to Jewish religious practice and Jewish faith while many family members embraced Christianity. Yet she also lived well within the social parameters established for Southern white women, espoused Southern values, and owned enslaved African Americans. The Civil War Diary of Emma Mordecai is one of the few surviving Civil War diaries by a Jewish woman in the antebellum South. It charts her daily life and her evolving perspective on Confederate nationalism and Southern identity, Jewishness, women's roles in wartime, gendered domestic roles in slave-owning households, and the centrality of family relationships. While never losing sight of the racist social and political structures that shaped Emma Mordecai's world, the book chronicles her experiences with dislocation and the loss of her home. Bringing to life the hospital visits, food shortages, local sociability, Jewish observances, sounds and sights of nearby battles, and the very personal ramifications of emancipation and its aftermath for her household and family, The Civil War Diary of Emma Mordecai offers a valuable and distinct look at a unique historical figure from the waning years of the Civil War South. Dianne Ashton was Professor Emeritus of Philosophy and World Religions at Rowan University. She is the author and editor of a number of books, including Hanukkah in America: A History and Rebecca Gratz: Women and Judaism in Antebellum America. Melissa R. Klapper is Professor of History and Director of Women's and Gender Studies at Rowan University. She is the author of Jewish Girls Coming of Age in America, 1860-1920; Ballots, Babies, and Banners of Peace: American Jewish Women's Activism, 1890-1940; Small Strangers: The Experiences of Immigrant Children in the United States, 1880-1925; and Ballet Class: An American History.

The Biden administration has released "over 300,000" unaccompanied immigrant children into the United States after they crossed the border illegally, the head of the Department of Health and Human Services admitted to concerned House Republicans Wednesday. Republicans grilled HHS Secretary Xavier Becerra for details on the extent to which immigrant children have come over the border and been released into the country, including to unrelated adults, rather than being deported back to their home countries. "Probably over 300,000 in the last three years or so," Becerra said in a rare public admission about the magnitude of the border crisis . No previous administration, including two-term presidents, have released as many children. The figure is on par with data on the HHS website, which indicates 392,000 children have been let go to sponsors in the United States since October 2020, which includes the final four months of the Trump administration. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/darien-dunstan3/message

Wisconsin Congressman Glenn Grothman says the most ‘underreported story' of the Biden administration is the losing of the 85,000 unaccompanied migrant children who came across the southern border and authorities completely losing track of them. Grothman says that this treatment of immigration children is a complete double standard compared to what the administration would do for American children. Saying, “every month 8000-9000 children come across the southern border and they're unaccompanied, no adult there. There are others who come across the southern border, and they claim to be with an uncle or grandma or something, and you do the DNA tests and it turns out, they're not. Now sadly, recently, the Biden administration stopped [this policy], which is a big mistake. But in any event, after [the children] come here, we have to set them up with a sponsor. But it turns out that we do not keep track of what becomes of these kids three months, four months later, and tens of thousands, we don't know where they are. Are they being human trafficked? Are they working jobs illegally?” Grothman held a special committee hearing on this this topic of missing children and interviewed the Secretary of Labor and asked said, What does [the agency] do when “you find a child working third shift in a factory? Do you contact the parents? [The Secretary said,] ‘It wouldn't occur to us to contact the parents'. I mean, if it was an American child, and you found somebody working 2 A.M. in a factory, what would you do? Call the parents and say what's going on? When it comes to the immigrant children? We don't care.” And as the result, we'll have human trafficking, will the children ever see their parents again, we don't know.” Grothman says that this is “particularly irritating. Because four years ago under President Trump, when kids were kept maybe apart from their parents for one or two weeks, it was like, ‘Oh, my goodness'. And as they're being separated, everyone was worried. Now they come across the border, may never see their parents again, and nobody cares. But it is an underreported story and I wish the mainstream media would pick up on it.”See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Join us in this week's episode as we discuss the dangerous jobs that violate child labor laws including the factories that make well-known brands we use today. We touch on the language barriers, low wages, and harsh conditions these kids endure for a chance to live a better life.

In this episode, we're joined by VECINA's own Project Director, Molly Chew. Molly directs all of VECINA's projects, but specializes in our ReUnite Project, where we work to assist family members and loved ones of detained unaccompanied immigrant children in the reunification process. Prior to coming on board with VECINA, Molly spent nearly seven years working with unaccompanied refugee children and their families in an array of Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR) contracted programs. This included ORR shelters, foster care, and home study/post-release services. She previously worked as the Western Regional Supervisor for a program that made reunification recommendations for detained unaccompanied minors and connected these children and their families with community resources upon reunification. Molly is a DOJ Accredited Representative and is obtaining her Master's Degree in Refugee Protection and Forced Migration Studies from the University of London. Molly's here to talk to us about a topic that has repeatedly been in the news: the experiences of unaccompanied immigrant children who are detained in the United States.

This ‘translanguaging' transcends concerns of socially and politically defined boundaries beyond multilingualism.Dr Gabrijela Aleksić and colleagues designed a programme to help teachers leverage children's translanguaging skills, especially in classes with children from immigrant or refugee families.Read more in Research Outreach.Find their original research at: doi.org/10.1080/13670050.2022.2085029
