For permanent residents, green card holders, and other non-citizens, committing certain types of crimes carries a penalty beyond jail time—deportation. On today's episode, we take a critical look at how immigration, schools, and the judicial system all connect to prevent thousands of AAPI immigrants from establishing their lives in America. You'll hear from Eddy Zheng, a formerly incarcerated Chinese-American activist who served a life sentence and faced deportation for a crime he committed at age 16. We discussed his personal fight against deportation orders, the struggle of assimilating in a new country, and how these systems form a broader pipeline from migration to deportation for Asian-Americans.
