Is This Normal? A Live Debate on DHS, Deportation & Social Media

Is the Department of Homeland Security's use of social media in its deportation operations normal?

Immigrant Food and Georgetown's Philonomosian Society are bringing that question to the stage for a live, moderated debate- part of Immigrant Food's ongoing "Is This Normal?" series questioning the everyday normalization of immigration enforcement.

The motion: Is it normal that the government spends $200M on deportation ads?

The keynoters:

• Tory- Shae McInnis, SFS'28
• Liberal- Max Dunn, CAS'29

What to expect:

• Opening speeches from both keynoters
• Live cross-examination and rebuttal
• Open audience Q&A
• Closing statements from each side, plus remarks from both organizations

Come with an opinion, or come to form one. Either way, expect a real argument- not a panel.

Georgetown University's debate team, Philonomosian Society, is one of the nation’s oldest and most respected collegiate debating organizations.
