Straight Talk: Heidi Altman

| for WPVC’s Straight Talk

On December 12, 2015,  CAIR Coalition’s legal director, Heidi Altman sat down with André Hakes of 94.7 WPVC to discuss the legal issues that non-citizens face in the justice system. In the interview, they cover topics such as the immigration detention system, lack of counsel for unaccompanied children, and the Syrian refugee crisis.

“In the ordinary case, deportation for a green card holder for a criminal offense has more negative impacts on American citizens than it would be if the person would be permitted to reunify with their family and their community."
