Intercepted with Jeremy Scahill
On this bonus episode of Intercepted, journalist John Washington, whose latest reporting for The Intercept expanded on an explosive new whistleblower complaint alleging that mass hysterectomies occurred at an ICE detention facility, reads an excerpt from his new book, βThe Dispossessed: A Story of Asylum and the US-Mexican Border and Beyond.β And the Colombian-Canadian musician Lido Pimienta talks about her latest album, Miss Colombia, and how the 2015 Miss Universe Pageant inspired her to look critically at anti-blackness in Colombia. Sheβs currently organizing a relief fund for Colombian families affected by Covid-19, which you can learn more about here.
