Experts from the National Immigrant Justice Center (NIJC) discuss how the Trump administration has used COVID-19 as an excuse to shut down immigration and harm immigrants, a goal it's been working towards since the beginning of its administration. Policy and direct legal service staff speak discuss the effects this false friction has on due process rights and for asylum seekers at the border, unaccompanied children, and individuals detained in immigration jails.
NIJC has a new Chicago address at 111 W. Jackson Blvd, Suite 800, Chicago, IL 60604 and a new email domain at @immigrantjustice.org.
