Trans Surveillance at DHS
Manage episode 507104970 series 2815066
The Department of Homeland Security has quietly rolled back policies that limited surveillance based on gender identity and sexual orientation, raising urgent questions about privacy and government overreach. In this episode, Imara unpacks the history, legal implications, and potential consequences of this shift. First she speaks with legal historian Kate Redburn, who traces the changes in government surveillance of queer communities since World War II. Then, René Kladzyk, senior investigator at the Project on Government Oversight, breaks down how these changes affect current intelligence and enforcement practices and what they could mean for immigrant and LGBTQ+ communities targeted under these policies.
