ABOUT THIS EPISODE
A follow-up to our Season 6 Episode 9 conversation on RICAP's Rapid Response program listen to that episode.
Erin Sweeney RLAW '22, Managing Attorney and Director of the Rutgers Immigrant Community Assistance Project (RICAP), joins guest host and Rutgers Law School Professor David Noll to talk about how the work has evolved since then — how RICAP has grown since launching in 2017, what a typical week looks like for the team now, why Delaney Hall has become a flashpoint in the detention conversation, and what conditions are actually like for those held there. Erin pushes back on the "hardened criminals" rhetoric, walks through the ripple effects of good legal representation, and shares how she sustains herself doing this work.
