Join us tonight at 6:30pm on KBOO Community Radio (90.7FM in Portland or streaming live at kboo.fm) for a critical conversation on Prison Pipeline. Host Emma Lugo interviews immigration attorney Jordan Cunnings about the Trump Administration’s invocation of the Alien Enemies Act of 1798—a centuries-old law historically used only during major U.S. wars.
For the first time in modern history, this law has been used to justify the detention and deportation of immigrants and refugees. Jordan Cunnings discusses the recent federal court decision blocking these removals, the ACLU’s legal response, and the grassroots resistance here in Oregon, including efforts led by the Oregon for All Coalition, ACLU of Oregon, and Innovation Law Lab.
Tune in to learn how this moment echoes past injustices—and how communities are rising to defend civil liberties today.
Prison Pipeline airs every Monday at 6:30pm, offering perspectives on the criminal justice system that challenge the status quo and uplift the call for a more just society.
