Welcome: Why this podcast, why us?
Support, Don’t Deport is a deportation defense podcast where I sit with organizers and activists around the country facing and FIGHTINg deportation. Together, we deconstruct criminalization, the incarceration to deportation pipeline, and re-define justice and what thriving communities look like.
Thank you for listening to my story. TODAY I WANT TO TALK ABOUT WHY THIS PODCAST, WHY ME, why now?
Truth is, it's been a long process. Fighting an immigration case publicly is aaaa lot. But I'm also one of the lucky ones in a strange way. I didn't grow up with my immigration status on my mind. Even though I come from a mixed status family, most of us have legalization and some economic stability. This is important because all those things are important when you're trying to fight your case and overall survive in this country. The government makes it really tough, expensive and it takes a toll on our well being and mental health.
Before I went to jail for my immigration status, I had been criminalized for being who I am, for liking what I like, for looking like I do. I didn't know that who I was, would make me a target to la poli-migra……….. I quickly learned a lot.It’s crucial that we think about immigration enforcement as part of the broader trend of criminalization—this allows us to get closer to the root cause of the harm that immigration authorities bring to immigrant communities, and to see the connections between struggles that are shared by criminalized citizens and non-citizens alike.
