This week we're happy to have back Jason Dzubow, fellow immigration attorney and the author of The Asylumist: How to Seek Asylum in the United States and Keep Your Sanity. 

Jason talks about his recent experiences with Afghan asylum seekers, practice pointers for old timers like Matthew, and more. 

This week we're joined by Professor Reece Jones to talk about his latest book,White Borders: The History of Race and Immigration in the United States from Chinese Exclusion to the Border Wall. 

This week Matthew and I discuss the new DHS enforcement memo, disarray at the department, and we try out our tin foil hats for a minute.

NEIGH!

Yes, all horses are bastards which is why we here are Redirect are thrilled with the recent announcement by the White House that horses will no longer be used (for now) on the border (a particular stretch of the border that is). Problem solved! 

This week we're thrilled to be joined by Lindsay Toczylowski from ImmDef, a social justice law firm in Los Angeles, California. We try to wrap our heads around Title 42, Haitians on the border, the not-rocket-docket rocket docket, and more. 

This week we're joined by Matthew Hoppock to talk about the Supreme Court forcing Biden to reimplement the "Migrant Protection Protocols," A Trump era policy designed for force asylum seekers to wait out their case processing in Mexico. We also talk about a federal judge who blocked the implementation of certain Biden enforcement guidelines, leading to more absurdities all around. It turns out everything is absurd! 

Sharifa Abbasi and Alexa August from The HMA Law Firm join us this week to discuss the current situation in Afghanistan and how it is affecting immigrants and current citizens. Matthew and I compare the struggles that are ubiquitous within the system, discuss chronic issues for immigration from Afghanistan and other Muslim countries, and discover several new and more acute challenges which have arisen since the Taliban takeover.

This week we're joined by Silky Shah (@silkys13) from the Detention Watch Network to talk about ongoing efforts to end immigration detention. In Matthew's neck of the woods a group of lawyers have written a letter to try and keep one detained court *open,* and the New Jersey Bar Association came out against a bill that would prevent ICE from expanding their detention practices within the state.

This week we're joined by Dara Lind (@dlind), an immigration reporter from Pro Publica who wrote a great piece about how the new Biden "prosecutorial discretion" memo is (or isn't) being implemented. You can check out her writing here. 

This week I'm joined by Jorge Baron from the Northwest Immigrant Rights Project to discuss the recent DACA ruling, immigration reform through reconciliation, and more. 

Matthew is on vacation this week and I'm flying solo, talking about reconciliation and the hope of immigration reform, a federal judge putting the breaks on DACA, and the cruelty of the legal immigration system.
