For nearly a decade, Donald Trump and his political allies have made it clear that one of their primary goals is mass deportation of undocumented people living in the U.S. After the election, this rhetoric is set to become a policy reality, affecting millions of people across all sectors of society.While Trump and right-wing conservatives have proudly embraced an anti-immigration stance, it's important to recognize that Republicans aren't the only party that set the stage for mass deportations. Over the years, Democrats have also shifted rightward on immigration, increasingly echoing the foundational principles of conservative immigration policies. After all, there's a reason President Obama earned the nickname "Deporter-in-Chief": 3 million people were deported during his presidency. As questions arise about what mass deportations will look like under a Trump administration, many wonder how it will differ from the current system. In our latest episode, host Kai Wright speaks with Jasmine Garsd, NPR's immigration correspondent and the host of The Last Cup, as well as Ronnie James, director of national community engagement for the UndocuBlack Network, an organization that supports Black migrants who are either currently or formerly undocumented. They explore how both parties have mishandled immigration over the years, the myths and misconceptions that shape immigration policy, the economic impacts of mass deportations, and what these policies could actually look like in practice. James also shares how people can get involved in efforts to push back against these policies.  Tell us what you think. We're @noteswithkai on Instagram and X (Twitter). Email us at notes@wnyc.org.

“Texas is playing by its own rules on immigration and deputizing police from as far away as Iowa to participate in Abbott's state-level war on migrants. The implications here are just horrifying,” says Kelly Hayes. In this episode of Movement Memos, Kelly examines recent events in Del Rio, Texas, where Black asylum-seekers were brutalized and faced mass deportations, and also highlights Operation Lone Star, Texas Governor Greg Abbott's unconstitutional, state-level war on migrants. Kelly also talks with Breanne Palmer, with the UndocuBlack Network, and Kevin Herrera, with Just Futures Law, about the fight to defend refugees and asylum seekers.

In this week's sound off, Maria and Julio dive deep into the violent border enforcement we witnessed in Del Rio, Texas where thousands of Haitian refugees were being held and turned away. They discuss the horrifying images of Border Patrol agents attacking Haitian immigrants and the media's responsibility to push back against the Biden administration's narrative.ITT Staff Picks: Felipe De La Hoz writes about flaws and gaps in how we talk about asylum seekers: “Many seem to think that the president still has the option, the duty, to violate domestic and international law and shut down asylum,” in this March piece for The Baffler. Patrice Lawrence, executive director of the UndocuBlack Network, writes “The Biden administration could have made a strong statement in favor of due process and dignity by allowing for an orderly asylum process. Instead, it has opted for mass expulsions of vulnerable people,” in this op-ed for CNN.

As we see images flash across our cable news and social media feeds this week showing how the United States is treating Haitian migrants, there is a lot of critical context and history missing from the coverage. In this episode of Latino Rebels Radio, guest Danyeli Rodriguez of the UndocuBlack Network discusses some of what is missing and why it is so important to not ignore.

Everyday Black men and women endure racial discrimination, prejudice, injustice, and oppression. Racism is a national crisis and has been since America’s founding. Reading the recent stories of George Flyod and Breonna Taylor, who are among thousands of other Black people victim of police brutality is upsetting and disheartening. I’ve thought very hard about how to approach this week’s episode, while also being conscious of my privilege. In this week’s episode I hope to continue a broader discussion of racial inequality in this country.

A new organization is amplifying the voices of those who are often invisible in the  immigration narrative, undocumented Black people. The UndocuBlack Network started when a group of currently and formerly undocumented Black people came together after Freddy Gray, a Baltimore resident, died from injuries sustained while in police custody. A group of young people organized the Undocumented and Black convening in Florida, sparking national interest and participation. In just 3 years, the UndocuBlack Network has blossomed into a national nonprofit whose advocacy is building community, influence and power.  As Gabrielle Jackson, co-founder and Mental Wellness Director, explains on Power Station, the challenges of the undocumented from the Caribbean, United Kingdom, Latin America and the African Continent are complex. They are deported at significantly higher rates than other populations and their stories are often underreported. Those in line for citizenship drop out of the process for many reasons and asylum seekers face deportation to countries where their safety is at risk. LGTBQ immigrants grapple with bias and isolation. A childhood arrival from Trinidad and Tobago, Gabrielle, was a DACA recipient, who wants no-one else to feel the kind of aloneness that she did. Now a mental health professional, she leads initiatives that create resources and support for the community.  As she explains, We focus on both policy advocacy and mental illness and mental wellness issues. You have the right not just to survive but to thrive. This is a story we need to hear, embrace and act on.

Many times forgotten, black undocumented immigrants from Latin American, Caribbean or African countries are a growing part of the immigrant community. Maria and Julio speak to Jonathan Jayes-Green, co-founder and director of the UndocuBlack Network, to understand the complexities of this population and how they are organizing to fight back and support each other.

On this edition of Midday we focus on a particular group of immigrants, who are affected by immigration policy in ways unlike any other group. Black African Immigrants are the fasting growing immigrant population in the United States. According to PEW research, there was a 137% surge in the Black African Immigrant population between 2000 and 2013. 10% of all Blacks living in the United States are foreign born, up from 3% in the 1980s. They are a population that is often highly educated, family oriented and hardworking, all virtues that from the cornerstone of the American value system. So why do these Black immigrants face the highest levels of deportation, and unemployment?We take a look at the challenges that Black African immigrants face as they strive to lay roots in this country and how the eradication of programs like DACA and the Diversity Visa Program affect their prosperity.Amaha Kassa, the Founder and Executive Director of African Communities Together, joins Tom by phone from New York City.Nana Brantuo is a doctoral candidate in Minority and Urban Education at the University of Maryland-College Park, and policy manager with the Black Alliance for Just Immigration. She joins Tom on the line from NPR studios in Washington DC, as does Jonathan Jayes-Green, a queer, undocumented Afro-Panamanian who is one of the co-founders of the UndocuBlack Network.And Fatima Zara-Beri, an undocumented immigrant from Chad, DACA recipient and founder of the Towson University DREAMERS club, is our guest in Studio A.

With the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program in limbo, our Associate Web Editor Dhanya Addanki talked to Patrice Lawrence and Mwewa Sumbwe of the UndocuBlack Network about what the end of DACA could mean.
