Fascist Measures Under the Guise of COVID-19

On this episode, Yvette interviews her former Stanford Law professor, Jim Cavallaro, who now runs the University Human Rights Network, about his 2010 report on the Salvadoran response to gangs and organized crime “No Place to Hide.” They discuss the thread of US imperialism that connects 1980’s Northern Triangle civil wars, 1996 expansion of crimes that make individuals deportable, and early 2000’s “Mano Dura” policy that wreaked havoc on the lives of youth gang members.
