This week on Women on the Line, we explore how the COVID19 pandemic is affecting people in immigration detention both in the US and here in Australia. First, we listen to a conversation between Max Castle from 3CR Community Radio's Thursday Breakfast, and Maru Mora-Villalpando, a community organiser working in Seattle/Tacoma, Washington, about the threat of coronavirus outbreaks in US immigration detention centres. After that, we listen to Sumarlinah, a writer, editor, dancer, and community organiser currently living on Wurundjeri land, about what COVID19 restrictions mean for people in immigration detention in Australia.
