The Portland-based Innovation Law Lab was in federal court Wednesday, challenging the ICE policy of arresting immigrants and U.S. citizens without warrants and without due process. If successful, Oregon would join Washington, D.C. and Colorado in preventing this tactic.    From warrantless arrests to unlawful use of force to arresting of journalists and other violations of civil rights, Portland constitutional law scholar Steve Kanter says these federal unconstitutional actions threaten democracy itself. Kanter joins us to put these actions in the context of the fundamental freedoms guaranteed by the First, Fourth and Fifth Amendments. Jordan Cunnings, legal director of the Innovation Law Lab, also joins us to share details about the federal court hearing on warrantless arrests in Oregon.    

On Tuesday, two asylum seekers were arrested at the Portland Immigration Court after they showed up for scheduled hearings. After attorneys from the Portland-based Innovation Law Lab filed habeas corpus petitions on the asylum seekers’ behalf, a federal judge ordered the government to not move them out of Oregon without first providing notice and to wait for at least two days. The Innovation Law Lab is also representing two other asylum seekers who were arrested under similar circumstances at the Portland Immigration Court and who are being detained at the Northwest Detention Center in Tacoma, Washington. In recent days, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials have ramped up arrests and deportations at workplaces and courthouses around the nation. Those tactics have sparked a wave of growing protests and clashes with law enforcement in Portland and other cities, including Los Angeles, where President Trump controversially ordered the deployment of the California National Guard and Marines to support federal immigration enforcement in the region. Innovation Law Lab’s legal director, Jordan Cunnings, joins us to share more details about the asylum seekers arrested in Portland and the legal issues surrounding their cases.

The Biden administration is expected to lift a controversial policy, Title 42, which allows border agents to expel migrants crossing into the U.S. When it's overturned, a surge in immigrants crossing over to the U.S. is expected, and one migrant resource center in Phoenix is bracing for the influx. Here & Now's Peter O'Dowd visited the center. Then, migrants seeking U.S. immigration in Juarez, Mexico have reported mass kidnappings and other dangerous conditions. Andrea Gonzalez with the Innovation Law Lab joins us. And, Montana's state constitution guarantees the right to a clean environment. So, young climate activists are bringing the issue to court. Nate Bellinger, senior staff attorney at Our Children's Trust, and one of the 16 plaintiffs Grace Gibson-Snyder join us.

Despite often performing work considered essential to the nation's critical infrastructure, undocumented workers live under the constant fear of deportation. In this episode of Policy for the People, Janet Bauer of the Oregon Center for Public Policy and Isa Peña of Innovation Law Lab discuss how deportation wreaks havoc on families and weakens Oregon's economy, as well as what the state can do to reduce the harm.Learn more: read the report Deportation harms Oregon's economy and upends family security.

As rural Oregonians, we’re not new to taking care of each other in a crisis. In the midst of the fear and grief, we’re returning this month to the story of thousands of committed people who joined together across county lines and faiths. By bringing their skills and networks together, opening the doors of their religious meeting places for shelter, and pooling resources, they successfully ended a human rights crisis in rural Oregon.It (Still) Takes All of Us, features a story from Yamhill County about the power of interfaith organizing and the successes that are possible when hundreds of people join together in a moment of crisis. This month, we follow the story of Navneet Kaur, who took action in support of asylum seekers in rural Yamhill County with her Sikh community, Innovation Law Lab, and ICE Out of Sheridan. Navneet speaks about the community mobilization that successfully pressured ICE to release people from detention.

While showing up alone didn’t work so well, she quickly began doing interfaith organizing with her temple, Dasmesh Darbar Sikh Temple and coordinating with lawyers from Innovation Law Lab to support people in winning their right to asylum, and forcing ICE to release everyone within six months.Their work did not end with the release of those detained in FCI Sheridan though. Navneet helped form the Respite Network with ICE Out of Sheridan and communities of faith across the Willamette Valley and organized over 60 volunteers into the Welcome Team. Together they picked people up when they were released from detention and drove them to temples and churches to stay for the night and supported folks as they continued on their journeys and reunited with family and friends across the United States.Do you want to form a group in your community?

Come and hear how the tenets of Sikhism relate to why so many Sikhs helped with the release of asylum seekers at the Sheridan Federal Correction Center last summer. Navneet Kaur, one of the interpreters who helped with the men from India and Nepal, was given access to the prison on a daily basis. She will talk about her experience and how her faith is embedded in all she does. Speaker Bio Navneet an adjunct instructor at Chemeketa Community College in Salem. She started her teaching career in Lodi California as a high school teacher in 2002 and has taught both middle and high school before becoming a college instructor. She is also a member of Dasmesh Darbar Sikh temple in Salem since 2006. She was actively involved in organizing and hosting all the events organized by the Sikh Community , including the Sikh Day Parade from 2006-2013 and was the Community Outreach Director for the temple. In 2018, she got involved with Innovation Law Lab and was an integral part of their pro bono team that helped free over a hundred immigrant detainees from Federal Correctional Institute in Sheridan, Oregon.

This week I talk with Matthew about his recent efforts to combat the administration's Migrant Protection Protocols. Ramon Valdez from Innovation Law Lab also joins us to discuss the so-called "asylum transit ban." As we were talking news broke of a "safe third country" agreement with Guatemala, so we try to digest that bit of news.  The common thread here is that the administration does not want asylum seekers in the U.S. Period.
