Interview with Jeffrey Wasserstrom about his new book 'The Milk Tea Alliance'

One of those attorneys, Jacqueline Brown, described the events leading up to her client, a Burmese national who speaks limited English, being removed.

Brown scheduled a video meeting with her client for Tuesday morning, but when she checked online, he was no longer in the detention system.<<
