California Must Act Against Transnational Repression
California's immigrant communities face numerous challenges, including housing insecurity and limited access to healthcare. However, a growing problem remains under the radar: transnational repression.
Transnational repression occurs when foreign governments silence, harass, or intimidate individuals who fled persecution, extending authoritarian control beyond national boundaries and putting immigrants and Californians' freedoms at risk.
- California is home to over 125,000 torture survivors, the most in the nation.
- Many fled regimes that imprison or kill people for speaking freely, yet still face repression in the state.
Transnational repression is a tactic designed to extend authoritarian control beyond national boundaries, and it puts not only immigrants at risk, but also the freedoms all Californians cherish.
Author's summary: California must address transnational repression.
