Sophia Gurulé, an immigration defense attorney and policy advocate, explains “crimmigration”–the intersection of the criminal legal system with the U.S. immigration system. Sophia shares with host, Rafa Kidvai, how even very brief encounters with the criminal punishment system can lead to detention and how state surveillance using these two systems can lead to deportation.
