Victoria Bruce & Rebecca Eichler, moderated by Careen Shannon
Immigration lawyer Careen Shannon moderates a conversation with immigration lawyer Rebecca Eichler and award-winning filmmaker Victoria Bruce, both of whom recently visited Mexico’s northern and southern borders and report on their experience and their impressions of US immigration policy as well as Mexican policy
Rebecca N. Eichler has over 20 years of experience as an immigration attorney working with clients from around the world seeking protection under U.S. and international law. She currently lives and works in Mexico as a human rights advocate. She is a Board member of the Latin American Relief Fund and on the Legal Committee of Caminamos Juntos. Through her work with deportees from the U.S. and migrants at the U.S. border, she has gained a unique perspective on the systemic human rights abuses perpetrated by the Trump administration and its violations of U.S. immigration law and international asylum obligations. Now she updates the picture in the Biden Administration and reports from her recent visit to Mexico’s southern border.
What we do The Center engages in local community support and outreach to promote and advance initiatives and movements toward social justice, grassroots empowerment and democracy, and environmental sustainability. It is also devoted to critical analysis of the processes and impacts of globalization, both local and international. The Center works to develop alternative socio-economic systems that conserve and share the world’s cultural, economic, and environmental resources for the benefit of humankind.
