The past two years have brought the world changes never imagined: a global pandemic; the lockdowns and the losses; the border closures and the politics of avoiding illness, even death.

But throughout it all, there is one thing that hasn’t skipped a beat: the US Deportation Machine.

The featured guest of Witness Radio Episode 11 is Thomas Cartwright, a member of the leadership team of Witness at the Border. Tom dedicated his time during the past 24 months of the global pandemic to collecting, compiling, and communicating data that the US government would prefer you did not know.

When Trump strong-armed the US Centers for Disease Control into hacking Title 42 of the US public health code to close the southern border to migration, thereby ending Witness’s long-term vigil to end Trump & Co’s Migrant “Protection” Protocols, aka Remain in Mexico policy, Tom’s witness did not stop.
