You are invited to join this lunchtime conversation about the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on immigration detention. There will be a short presentation on Tahirih’s recent research into immigration detention and COVID-19 followed by a robust conversation between front-line practitioners, activists, and researchers that will emphasize the ways in which existing systems and the response for the pandemic endanger people in detention and facilitate the further spread of the virus. Panelists will discuss what it will take to push for immediate and long-term actions needed for the safety of all.
