Biden, Borders and the Fight for Migrant Rights
Join us for this online event on Sunday, April 25, 2pm ET/1pm CT/12pm MT/11am PT
The Biden administration’s policies have precipitated a humanitarian crisis on the US/ Mexico border. While it repealed some of Trump’s vicious anti-immigrant orders, the administration has maintained a closed border, expelled over 170,000 people, thrown over 19,000 children into detention centers, and pressured Mexico to bar migrants on its southern border. This panel will discuss Biden’s betrayal of his campaign promises and what the movement must do to win migrant justice.
