Policing and the “war on terror”
[link removed]
Oct. 14, 8 p.m. ET / 5 p.m. PT
The post-9/11 “war on terror” framework legitimized the targeting and criminalization of Muslim and immigrant communities. It also produced new techniques, agencies, and concepts of policing that are increasingly being used on other communities of color and protesters. We will look at militarized policing, the development of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), fusion centers, "pre-crime," the use of community leaders and organizations in surveillance, and how local communities are pushing back.
