Q1: The failed "tough on crime" policies of the 1990s include AEDPA, which was signed 25 years ago tomorrow. What is this law and why is it bad?" #AEDPA25 #RepealAEDPA
Q2: AEDPA required mandatory detention and deportation for immigrants with certain convictions. How has this fueled deportation and mass incarceration? #AEDPA25 #RepealAEDPA
Q3: AEDPA was passed following the Oklahoma City bombing by a white supremacist in 1995. Why are so-called "domestic terror laws" misguided"? #AEDPA25 #RepealAEDPA
Q4: Who has been harmed by AEDPA and the anti-immigrant law that followed, IIRIRA? #AEDPA25 #RepealAEDPA
Q5: What solutions are advocates pushing for? How would the #NewWayForward Act help? #AEDPA25 #RepealAEDPA
And that's a wrap! Thank you to all of the amazing participants in today's twitter chat! Let's keeping fighting to #RepealAEDPA and for #NewWayForward! #AEDPA25
