We speak with Maanvi Singh, national immigration reporter for the Guardian, who co-reported the new investigation on ICE’s medical care and data-keeping. We also speak with Anthony Enriquez, attorney and Vice President of U.S. Advocacy and Litigation at the Robert and Ethel Kennedy Human Rights Center, representing women in ICE custody.

We’re joined by Jeremy Busby, a writer and activist incarcerated in Texas. He is the founder of JoinJeremy, a nonprofit supporting incarcerated journalists and writers. Seth Stern is chief of advocacy at Freedom of the Press Foundation. Links:
