How My Faith Got Me Profiled by Border Patrol - Rev. Kaji Douša

Doug Pagitt sits down with pastor and activist Rev. Kaji Douša to talk about being profiled and retaliated against by U.S. Border Patrol and the Department of Homeland Security for providing aid to migrants along the US/Mexico border. A federal judge ruled in her favor after she sued the U.S. Department of Homeland Security over a sweeping surveillance program, ruling that federal agents violated her civil rights and retaliated against her for protected First Amendment activity.

A graduate of the University of Pennsylvania and of Yale University, Pastor Kaji is a prolific writer and a celebrated and awarded public speaker. She preaches nearly every Sunday at The Park and is invited as a keynote speaker across the country. Her often fiery media appearances reflect her deep thinking, faithful perspective and quick wit. She is on the editorial board for the United Church of Christ’s Stillspeaking Writer’s Group and the Alumni Board of Yale Divinity School.
