Text: Adapted by Cynthia Ling Lee and Shyamala Moorty, based on an account by Hina Shamsi

Border Sawal Jawab was created as part of Borders Resurfacing, a long-distance process by the Post Natyam Collective. Border Sawal Jawab is inspired by the story of Hina Shamsi, an ACLU lawyer and then green card resident, when she reentered the United States in the wake of the travel ban. Her story, in her own words, is available here: aclu.org/blog/immigrants-rights/flying-home-abroad-border-agent-stopped-and-questioned-me-about-my-work-aclu.
