America's War on Immigration" Followed by a Panel of Respondents

Sunday, October 19th 7:00-9:00pm
Temple of Aaron
616 Mississippi River Blvd, St. Paul

Dr. Camayd was one of 16 interpreters at the hearings in Iowa after
Immigration and Customs Enforcement conducted the largest single-site
immigration raid in U.S. history, at AgriProcessors, Inc. He made
international headlines with his essay, "Interpreting after the
Largest ICE Raid in U.S. History: A Personal Account," denouncing the
criminalization of workers, current immigration enforcement tactics,
and the politics of intolerance.
Dr. Camayd is Professor of Latin American Literature and Director of
the Translation & Interpretation Program at Florida International
University. He has trained more than 3,000 interpreters representing
over 40 different languages and has interpreted internationally for
eight different heads of state, as well as for Pope Benedict XVI.

$15 suggested donation, to be donated to Postville families affected
by the raid.
