Rachel Nolan<\/a>, Assistant Professor of International Relations at the Frederick S. Pardee School of Global Studies at Boston University, was quoted for a recent article examining the threat of fines from the U.S. government levied against\u00a0immigrants taking sanctuary at houses of worship.<\/span><\/p>\n

Nolan was quoted in a July 30, 2019 article by the Associated Press<\/em><\/a>\u00a0<\/em>entitled “Immigrants Taking Sanctuary in Churches Hit With Huge Fines<\/a>.”<\/p>\n

From the text of the article:<\/p>\n

Indigenous communities disproportionally suffered during the 36-year conflict. Rachel Nolan, an assistant professor at Boston University whose research includes Central American civil wars, said the Kaqchikel experienced enormous discrimination and violence. While the peace accords signed in 1996 ended large-scale massacres for the most part, she said, indigenous people continue to face lower-levels of violence, including land dispossession.<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
