FI2W Podcast: The Detention Dilemma | Of all the people in the United States held behind bars, the fastest growing segment of the incarcerated population is immigrants. Some 400-thousand immigrants are detained every year. The immigrant detention system is a key element of the Obama administration’s policy that has resulted in the deportation of record numbers of immigrants—those who are undocumented as well as many who are in the country legally. Recently Feet in Two Worlds held a forum at the New School in New York focused on immigrant detentions. In this podcast, you'll hear excerpts from remarks by the panelists: journalist Maria Hinojosa; journalist Valeria Fernandez; Jackie Vimo, director of advocacy for the New York Immigration Coalition; and Amy Gottlieb, director of the American Friends Service Committee Immigrant Rights program in Newark, New Jersey.

FI2W Podcast: Maggi’s Global Mystique | Polish food and Chinese food don’t have much in common, but there’s one ingredient that unites these two cuisines. It’s a flavor that reminds immigrants of home, no matter where they come from, whether it’s Africa, Asia, Latin America or Eastern Europe.

On today’s Food in Two Worlds podcast, FI2W reporter Aurora Almendral talks about Maggi Seasoning, a condiment that inspires devotion across the globe and in immigrant kitchens across the country. | 2/16/12 | Free | View In iTunes |

Now the FBI and the US Attorney's Office in Manhattan are investigating whether Liu violated federal law by accepting contributions from foreign donors.

FI2W Podcast: A challenge for Pakistani immigrants in the U.S. | Relations between the U.S. and Pakistan are said to be at an all time low. The current crisis is yet another challenge for Pakistani immigrants in the U.S. - already torn between their native country and their adopted home. Ever since the November 26th NATO air-strike that killed at least 25 Pakistani soldiers near the border with Afghanistan, the relationship between the two countries has been on a downward spiral. The government in Islamabad has placed new restrictions on US military and intelligence operations in Pakistan, while at the same time accusing NATO of deliberately staging the fatal attack. The U.S. says it was an accident. Pakistani immigrants are keenly aware of the dangers posed by this latest crisis, and some are trying to figure out how the immigrant community should respond. Joining FI2W's John Rudolph is Mohsin Zaheer is the founder and editor of the Pakistani Newspaper an online publication, and editor of Sade e Pakistan | 12/20/11 | Free | View In iTunes |

FI2W Podcast: Dual Language Schools | In some New York City public schools, learning English doesn’t mean giving up your native tongue. There are about 90 dual language schools in New York City that aim to make students proficient in two languages. Categorized as bilingual programs, these schools are intended to strengthen students’ native language development while simultaneously teaching them English. 91 percent of the students at P.S. 24 in Sunset Park, Brooklyn are Latino and almost half are designated 'English Language Learners.' The school has won the trust of immigrant families by immersing the students in both English and Spanish, but its D.O.E report card was mixed. While the school struggled to meet D.O.E. standardized test goals, it won accolades for its success in child development. Fi2W reporter Ramaa Reddy Raghavan investigated the school's dual language program and in this podcast episode, she speaks to Fi2W executive producer John Rudolph about the challenges facing the immigrant students and their teachers | 12/1/11 | Free | View In iTunes |
