In this midweek special, we’re sharing a recent chat with Juan of Casa Carmelita to talk about Camp O:Shad about the tree sit and defense of the landscape around Tohono O’odham land around Lochiel Arizona against a double border wall being constructed and in the run-up to the October 4th day of action that organizers are hoping to invite people to at the US-Mexico border. Alongside this, you’ll hear Jackson, an organizer with the Human Rights Coalition talking about the situation of 2020 Uprising prisoner Khalif Miller.

We hope you enjoy the interviews! This episode will also be this Sunday’s podcast, so expect to hear back from us October 11th.

This week, we’re sharing an interview with Ángel, an ICE detainee currently incarcerated in Otero Detention Center in New Mexico. Ángel is a trans-masculine lesbian of Mapuche heritage, whose family moved hir to the US from Chile at the age of 7 and has lived undocumented since, attaining DACA status under Obama. During the 2020 George Floyd Uprising she pled guilty to charges related to arson of police vehicles in Little Rock, serving 15 months before moving to Chicago and where s/he was detained by ICE. Approaching 30 years old, the majority of which has been in the so-called USA, Angel made the hard choice to waive the right to fight deportation and has been in detention centers since on hir way to being sent to Chile to join hir mother and family now living there.

For the hour, Ángel speaks about conditions at Prairieland and Otero detention centers, the conditions of hir fellow prisoners, the hurdles they face in access to healthcare, quality food, clean facilities, legal resources, access to communications with their families, ability to communicate needs and demands with staff and guards who only speak English, and other topics.
