"Protests are raging in the streets of Minneapolis and across the country as Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents accelerate their campaign to deport immigrants - with sometimes deadly results. And it's all playing out in the public realm. But what is the transportation reform advocate's role in that fight? And can the battle to remake our violent transportation system help support the goal of making the entire country less susceptible to violent policing?"
"We're sitting with those difficult questions - as well as the deaths of Renee Good, Alex Pretti, Silverio Villegas Gonzales, and more - on today's special episode of the Brake."
Protests are raging in Minneapolis and across the country as Immigration and Customs Enforcement accelerates deportations, sometimes producing deadly outcomes.

Transportation systems can enable aggressive policing and deportation strategies through design and policy. Transportation reform advocates face questions about their role in resisting violent enforcement and whether system redesign can reduce the country's susceptibility to state violence. Strategic collaboration across immigrant-rights and transportation-justice movements is necessary to protect communities. The deaths of Renee Good, Alex Pretti, Silverio Villegas Gonzales, and others heighten the urgency.
