At PRI’s The World, Beth Lew-Williams, author of The Chinese Must Go: Violence, Exclusion, and the Making of the Alien in America, recounted the story of her grandfather Lew Din Wing, who in 1930, at 9 years old, was traumatically separated from his family and detained by immigration officials for 34 days.
Bernardo Zacka, author of When the State Meets the Street: Public Service and Moral Agency, explained to Vox’s Sean Illig how bureaucrats who deal directly with the Trump administration’s family separation and detainment policies navigate clear but morally troubling directives versus instructions that are ambiguous, confusing, or logistically impossible to follow.
