Lee Gelernt on a Major Victory for Immigrant Families




At Liberty show

Summary: Lee Gelernt has been fighting Trump’s family separation policy since early this year, months before it became the subject of national outrage. Thousands of children remain separated from their parents, despite the president’s executive order purporting to end the practice. Just hours before taping this interview, a federal judge issued a decision calling for the government to take immediate action to unify these families. Lee discusses the future of this policy and the consequences of the Supreme Court’s Muslim ban ruling on immigration policy broadly.
