Part II: How the Supreme Court's Term-End Decisions on Birthright Citizenship, Asylum and Temporary Status Will Impact Communities, Mixed-Status Families and Migrants: The Human Impact in Mexico with Nicole Ramos and Tran Dang
<p>Often the U.S. media fails to cover fully the full human impact of the increasingly punitive immigration system on our own communities, much less the reverberating humanitarian crisis in Mexico and other countries. For this episode, Professor Lopez is joined by two advocates, both originally from the U.S. working transnationally for non-profit humanitarian out of Mexico, Nicole Ramos, co-founder of Al Otro Lado working out of Tijuana, Mexico, and Tran Dang, founder of the Rhizome Center in Guadalajara, Mexico, who explain the full scope of this crisis, including for mixed-status families, resulting from (a) mass detention and deportation policies, and the (b) the effective administrative nullification of longstanding statutory pathways for amnesty and other forms of humanitarian relief, created consistent with international human rights law following World War II.</p><p>This podcast is for educational purposes only.

Part I: How the Supreme Court's Term-End Decisions on Birthright Citizenship, Asylum, and Temporary Status Will Impact Communities, Mixed-Status Families and Migrants: A Conversation with César Cuauhtémoc García Hernández
<p>César Cuauhtémoc García Hernández, the Gregory H. Williams Chair in Civil Rights and Civil Liberties at Ohio State University and nationally recognized scholar and contributor to the SCOTUS Blog, walks us through the Supreme Court's recent decisions on birthright citizenship, asylum, and Haitian and Syrian temporary protected status. Professor García Hernández highlights the broad and often uncritical deference the Court has given to the administration's immigration policies, explains the harmful real-world impacts of the asylum and TPS decisions and even, potential dangers on the horizons resulting from the Court's surprisingly narrow decision striking down the Birthright Citizenship executive order as unconstitutional. Our guest then ties the ironies of these decisions to the World Cup which has captivated much of the world's attention over this past summer.</p><p>This podcast is for educational purposes only.
