In this episode of the Field Hospital podcast, Jeannie Gaffigan and Mike Lewis talk to author and immigration lawyer Linda Dakin-Grimm about the real challenges faced by young people and families at the border, as well as our Gospel-based responsibilities, as Catholics, toward immigrants and refugees.
Linda Dakin-Grimm is a lawyer with direct experience working with migrants, including unaccompanied children and separated families. She is also the author of the 2020 book, Dignity and Justice: Welcoming the Stranger at Our Border. Last year, Matt Kappadakunnel reviewed her book for WPI–be sure to catch that review here.
Her advocacy for immigration justice is truly a prophetic witness for our time, and I personally found this conversation both informative and challenging.
Rachel Amiri is a contributor and past Production Editor for Where Peter Is. She has also appeared as the host of WPI Live. She is a graduate of the University of Notre Dame with degrees in Theology and Political Science, and was deeply shaped by the thought of Pope Benedict XVI. She has worked in Catholic publishing as well as in healthcare as a FertilityCare Practitioner.
