Why Was This Nurse Detained by ICE?

Nurses at a medical center protested the detention of Deborah Kapisha, a Zambian asylum seeker and nurse, by ICE for allegedly overstaying a visa. Kapisha, legally authorized to work, was apprehended at Boston Logan International Airport. The U.S. Department of Homeland Security confirmed her detention. The discussion highlighted the complexity of U.S. immigration law, the political divide on reform, and the challenges of asylum seekers navigating the system. The conversation also touched on historical immigration policies, the economic incentives for migrant labor, and the need for comprehensive reform to address the broken immigration system.
