Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Power, Policing, and Borders: Rethinking ICE in an International Law Perspective
Q: Do you see realistic avenues for reform, national or international, to regulate or transform the practices of migration agencies such as ICE?
Yes, realistic avenues for reform exist, particularly at a national level, and these require building strong independent constraints against the broad authority of agencies like ICE while ensuring accountability and transparency.
Power, Policing, and Borders: Rethinking ICE in an International Law Perspective
Q: What legal or institutional tools could be mobilized to strengthen the protection of migrants and racialized minorities?
The main tools include documenting and acknowledging violations through the Inter-American Commission, raising awareness of the compliance gap, and advocating for stronger implementation of international standards.
Power, Policing, and Borders: Rethinking ICE in an International Law Perspective
Q: What mechanisms could the international responsibility of the United States be engaged regarding abuses attributed to ICE or the systematic violence exposed in Minneapolis?
The US tends to avoid accountability through mechanisms such as the International Court of Justice and individuals submitting claims under relevant treaties, so advocacy and political pressure are the main avenues for holding the US accountable.
Power, Policing, and Borders: Rethinking ICE in an International Law Perspective
Q: In what context was ICE created in 2003, and how have its activities and practices evolved up to the recent events in Minneapolis?
ICE was created in March 2003 in response to the September 11 terrorist attacks, initially focusing on national security and later expanding to immigration enforcement, leading to significant changes in practices and priorities over time.
Inside Iran’s Unrest: Politics, Economy, and the Road Ahead
Q: How do you assess the risk of escalation between Iran and the US, and what are the most plausible scenarios for Iran in the future?
Therme describes the US strategy under Trump that includes potential military options while outlining several scenarios for Iran's future, including economic breakdown or internal political division.
