“Today’s episode examines the potential impact of mass deportations on children with disabilities. It highlights the conflict between President Trump's proposed policies and the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), which guarantees a Free Appropriate Public Education (FAPE) for all children with disabilities regardless of immigration status. Dr. Jaime Hoerricks details the role of private prisons in detention, raising concerns about accountability and the lack of resources to provide appropriate educational services in detention facilities, especially those located on federal land. The devastating long-term consequences for these children's education and well-being are emphasised, urging for advocacy and systemic change to protect their rights. Finally, Dr. Hoerricks critiques the moral implications of prioritizing profit over the welfare of vulnerable children.”
