Vera’s SAFE (Safety and Fairness for Everyone) Network is a network of 18 jurisdictions committed to universal representation for immigrants facing detention and deportation. In this webinar, the SAFE Network’s Annie Chen leads a discussion with Dr. Homer Venters – a nationally recognized expert on health in correctional settings – about the heightened risk that detained immigrants face of contracting COVID-19. Attorneys in the SAFE Network then discuss what their clients are experiencing in detention and what attorneys are doing to fight for the health, safety, and liberty of their clients.
