Since President Trump took office, the number of American churches willing to shelter undocumented immigrants from the threat of deportation has grown to about 1,000 — a small fraction of the Christian community.
In this special report for PBS NewsHour, Duarte Geraldino explores growing divisions among American Christians over US immigration policy. He takes us inside a congregation that is shielding one immigration from deportation.
In December 2017, the United Nations invited Duarte Geraldino to share his work at a stocktaking meeting as negotiations started on the upcoming Global Compact for Safe, Orderly and Regular Migration.
His talk titled ” What Citizens see in the face of newcomers,” helped shape discussions at the beginning of this historical process. Click here to listen to his talk.
The event took place in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. Hundreds of high-level diplomats, negotiators and representatives from civil society, the private sector, academia, trade unions, parliaments and National Human Rights Institutions attended the meeting. Duarte spoke during the ideas labs about perceptions and narratives surrounding newcomers and how they shape immigration policy.

MI PAJÓN: HERENCIA DEL PELO DOMINICANO (My Afro: Heritage of Dominican Hair) Directed by Duarte Geraldino, 2017
A young Dominican-American woman embraces her African heritage and moves back to Santo Domingo to open a beauty salon that does not straighten hair. By encouraging and teaching women to wear their hair naturally she hits a political nerve.
Una mujer Dominicana-Americana acoge su herencia Africana y regresa a Santo Domingo para abrir un salón de belleza que no alisa pelo. A través de su fomento y formación acerca del uso de pelo natural, toca una fibra muy sensible.
In June 2017, Duarte Geraldino gave a TED Talk at TED headquarters about US citizens who lose people to deportation. The Talk will be available later this year.
