Although I am done with classes for the next 7 weeks, I still have two papers to finish. . . or make that two papers to begin. I just want to be done!
I had a very interesting week at my field placement. On Tuesday I was able to tour a detention center for immigration law violations. I was only able to gain access to this facility as a guest of RMIAN - the Rocky Mountain Immigration Advocacy Network. They do amazing work with the residents of the detention center, mostly surrounding legal issues. The politics of the detention center and immigration law are too convoluted and charged to get into in a blog, but it was very enlightening to see the facility, the detainees, and learn some of the dynamics surrounding their situation.
Tonight I and some friends are going to a benefit for Prax(us), a not-for profit organizations that serves victims of human trafficking. As far as I know, the night holds live music and some spoken word performances. Should be interesting as well.
