THE COURTROOM
A Reenactment of One Woman’s Deportation Proceedings
transcripts arranged by Arian Moyad
Don’t miss this special presentation of The Courtroom: A Reenactment of One Woman’s Deportation Proceedings, an urgent docu-drama created from real-life transcripts of deportation trial, arranged by Arian Moayed.
The story centers on Elizabeth Keathley, a Filipina immigrant who entered the United States on a K-3 visa to live with her husband. After inadvertently checking “yes” on a driver’s license form, she was registered to vote, and participated in a midterm congressional election in violation of US election law. When the mistake was discovered at her citizenship hearings, the Department of Homeland Security ordered her deportation. The transcripts from a Chicago immigration court all the way to the US Court of Appeals present an unflinching look at the American immigration system—and one woman at its mercy.
