Dr. Camayd was one of 16 interpreters at the hearings in Iowa after Immigration and Customs Enforcement conducted the largest single-site immigration raid in U.S. history, at AgriProcessors, Inc. He made international headlines with his essay, "Interpreting after the Largest ICE Raid in U.S. History: A Personal Account," denouncing the criminalization of workers, current immigration enforcement tactics, and the politics of intolerance.
Dr. Camayd is Professor of Latin American Literature and Director of the Translation & Interpretation Program at Florida International University. He has trained more than 3,000 interpreters representing over 40 different languages and has interpreted internationally for eight different heads of state, as well as for Pope Benedict XVI.
$15 suggested donation, to be donated to Postville families affected by the raid.
