On today’s episode we are pleased to have Nicole Ramos, Director of Al Otro Lado . Al Otro Lado is a binational non-profit organization providing holistic legal and humanitarian support to indigent refugees, deportees, and other migrants in the U.S. and Tijuana through a multidisciplinary, client-centered, harm reduction-based practice. Nicole Ramos fiercely advocates for immigrants at the border by helping asylum seekers in Tijuana, Mexico who wish to present themselves to immigration authorities. She is incredibly brave and fearless – not only is she constantly in front of the U.S. government challenging the practice of turning away asylum seekers at the border – but she is also equipping these families with the knowledge needed to advocate for themselves. Nicole is also an Adjunct Professor at Temple University Beasley School of Law and lectures extensively at universities, law schools, and professional conferences throughout the United States and Mexico regarding the impact of border enforcement practices and policies on asylum seekers.
She talks about the impact of the Migrant Protection Program (MPP), Title 42, the reality many unaccompanied minors face and the lack of basic human aid provided to these refugees. Her work is complex and ground breaking – Al Otro Lado is assuring that asylum seekers can meet their needs with dignity.
