Think from KERA

The wartime justification of deportations


Listen Later

Three of the 18th Century laws making up the Alien and Sedition Acts have expired, but the Alien Enemies Act is getting quite a workout today. Qian Julie Wang is managing partner of Gottlieb & Wang LLP, a firm dedicated to advocating for education and civil rights. She joins host Krys Boyd to discuss why the internment of Japanese Americans during WWII was allowed, why students can be deported for supporting Palestine, and how this antiquated law is being used in public policy today. Her introduction appears in the new edition of “The Alien and Sedition Acts.”
