Beatrice speaks with Nate Holdren about why deportation is wrong, period, and about what we lose when we limit our demands to appeals about "legality."
This episode was recorded and released prior to the onset of "Operation Metro Surge" in Minneapolis but is being unlocked today as the discussion feels even more relevant following recent events. It was originally released under the title "Political Imagination and Appeals to the Law."
