And apologies if my first posting for you is a repeat of Austin Kocher's recent interview with me, published on May 8, the date Germany surrendered to the Allied Forces 80 years ago.

From the BorderlandsWho Are The Real Criminals In Trump 2.0's Mass Deportation Story?Hey everyone, Sarah here. Thanks for joining me for another episode of From the Borderlands.Today, I want to shine a light on the notion of “criminality” in US immigration enforcement because it’s a word that’s bandied about a lot without explanation. For example, Trump & Co state that ICE raids are targeted, that they are only going after “bad guys.” Border Czar, Tom Homan, says that every time a media outlet puts him on camera. But basic evidence would suggest otherwise: ICE is surveilling apartment buildings in Silver Spring, Maryland; boarding school buses in Alice, Texas; raidi...2025-02-0924 min

In this episode we come back to the conversation we had last March with Austin Kocher – PhD student at the Department of Geography of the Ohio State University – on how a possible Trump Presidency would affect US immigration policy. As we all know, against all odds Trump was indeed elected as the new President of the United States. And as becomes apparent now that he will most likely (be able to) come through on his anti-immigration ‘promises’, Kocher concludes that the silver lining in all this is that people are showing up and standing up against xenophobic...2016-11-1617 min
