Keystone Curious | A New Podcast by Susquenita High School and 4th Grade Students

In this episode, we’re joined by Jasmine Rivera, Executive Director of the Pennsylvania Immigration Coalition, and Andrew Brananoksi, Executive Director of the Pennsylvania Immigration Resource Center, with additional insight from Lize Miller of PIRC’s Removal Defense Team.

Together, they break down how Pennsylvania’s immigrant advocacy and legal defense organizations support individuals and families facing immigration enforcement. Our guests explain the distinct roles their organizations play—from statewide policy advocacy and community coordination to direct legal representation for people in detention or at risk of removal.

The conversation explores how their work has shifted amid an escalation of immigration enforcement, who qualifies for legal defense services, and the constitutional rights immigrants—including undocumented immigrants—continue to have. Listeners will hear practical guidance on what to do (and not do) if questioned by immigration officers, what documents people should have ready, and which documents should never be shown without legal advice.

We also cover critical issues around home entry and warrants, including the difference between judicial warrants and administrative immigration warrants, and why that distinction matters. The episode closes with guidance for families on preparing in advance, creating emergency plans, and taking immediate steps if a loved one is detained.

This episode is essential listening for immigrants, allies, and anyone seeking clear, grounded information about rights, risks, and protections under today’s immigration enforcement landscape.

Know Your Rights: Immigration Enforcement, Legal Protections, and How to Prepare

The Spark, hosted by Asia Tabb, will feature a 40‑minute conversation presented in two informal, discussion‑focused segments centered on the theme of learning how to disagree more constructively.

In the first half, Asia is joined by Nita Landis, moderator of the Skills for Disagreeing Better workshop, and Dr. Jonathan Woodall, Assistant Teaching Professor of Communication at Penn State Harrisburg. Their conversation explores the value of sharing perspectives, listening with intention, and being open to learning practical skills that help people navigate disagreement in healthier, more productive ways. Drawing from the workshop’s core ideas, they reflect on why these skills matter in classrooms, communities, and everyday conversations.

In the second half, Michael Lippert, president of the Young Americans for Freedom student club, and Elijah Espaillat, co‑founder of the Capital College Democrats Club, join Asia to discuss their personal takeaways from the workshop. They share what motivated them to participate, how the skills resonated with their own experiences across political differences, and why they believe others—especially students—can benefit from learning how to disagree with respect and understanding.
