Declarations: The Human Rights Podcast

President Trump's so-called "Muslim ban" has upended thousands of lives, leaving immigrants and refugees wondering if they can enter the United States. This week, we sit down with immigration lawyer Ben Gharagozli and Canadian-Somali researcher Surer Mohamed to unpack the complexities of the issue. In this episode, Ben analyzes the profound legal problems with this contested immigration executive order, and Surer explores the ban's moral problems, as well as the anxieties it has exacerbated among its targets. NOTE: We recorded on Friday, February 4th. Since then, a U.S. appeals court has temporarily halted Trump's ban, but the fear and uncertainty it has caused still remains.
