Sophie Smith on monitoring US Border Patrol interior checkpoints in Arizona and supporting migrants
Jan Haaken talks with Sophie Smith of People Helping People about their work with No More Deaths providing aid to migrants near the Us-Mexico border, and monitoring US Border Patrol Interior Checkpoints. They discuss the militarization of the border through the 1990s Operation Gatekeeper, Operation Hold the Line , and Operation Safeguard "prevention through deterrence" policies, as well as the post-9/11 increase in surveillance that affects citizens as well as migrants. And they look ahead to upcoming actions.
