Welcome back to a new season of the Dismantling Injustice Podcast! To kick things off, we are doing a deep dive into an issue that is making headlines everyday: the arrival of asylum seekers and other migrants to New York. First: shelter and housing. On this episode, Carl sat down with a reporter who has been on the front lines documenting this evolving situation for months — Daniel Parra, reporter and editor at City Limits. They discuss how New York City's approach to housing migrants has changed over time, what migrants are sharing about their experiences, the organizations overseeing these facilities and how imposing “length of shelter stay” restrictions will create more instability.
