Ravi Ragbir: Immigrant Leaders Are Surveilled & Targeted for Speaking Out About Trump's Deportations
by mail@democracynow.org (Democracy Now!) from Democracy Now! on (#3FPXS)
On Friday, a federal judge stayed the deportation of New York City immigrant rights leader Ravi Ragbir, after he filed a free speech lawsuit arguing immigration officials unconstitutionally used their power to suppress political dissent by targeting outspoken activists for surveillance and deportation. The judge stayed the deportation only one day before Ravi Ragbir was scheduled to be deported. He has now been ordered to check in with Immigration and Customs Enforcement on March 15. For more, we speak with Ravi Ragbir, executive director of the New Sanctuary Coalition.
