Summary
In our first episode of the New Year, Maria and Julio discuss the latest in immigration policy: the deaths of two migrant kids detained by U.S. Border Patrol after crossing the southern border. They also talk about the urgency of a more objective —and more humane— media coverage on immigration issues and take a look at the challenges that lay ahead for the new and most diverse Congress to be sworn in.
ITT Staff Picks:
- The Washington Post examines Trump administration's lack of an effective policy to save children’s lives, not only at the border but all over the US as a consequence of gun violence and the opioid epidemic.
- Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez fights back after the release of an old video of her dancing when she was an undergraduate student at Boston University.
- Three narratives to nix from immigration reporting in 2019, from ITT guest, Tina Vasquez at Rewire.News
