Welcome to D-Constructing Topics podcast where we D-Construct topics and todays episode we examine the story of Kalief Browder and how politicians weaponized migrants to destroy black communities. Kalief Browder (May 25, 1993 – June 6, 2015) was an African American youth from The Bronx, New York, who was held at the Rikers Island jail complex, without trial, between 2010 and 2013 for allegedly stealing a backpack containing valuables. During his imprisonment, Browder was in solitary confinement for 700 days. Two years after his release, Browder hanged himself at his parents' home. His case has been cited by activists campaigning for reform of the New York City criminal justice system and has attracted widespread attention in the years following his death. Kalief Browder was accused by two migrant kids which ultimately was not true and politicians tend to use migrants to pit against black neighborhoods and destroy them instead of helping the cause.
