Georgia Health Report: Immigration Detention Center Impacts Georgia Community

Coming up on the Georgia Health Report, we’ll discuss Social Circle, GA’s public health concerns around the planned construction of a deportation detention center. WUGA's Havivah Saltz is joined by Renuka Rayasam, a reporter for KFF Health News in Atlanta.

Havivah Saltz has been with WUGA since 2023 as an on-air host and the producer for African Perspectives. She got her start in radio on WOBC FM at Oberlin College (class of ‘23), and she’s also an on-air host on Athens' Power 100.1 and Magic 102.1. Outside of work, you can find Havivah making art, writing fiction, practicing Japanese, petting her very round cat, and watching concerning amounts of TV.
Emma Auer is an award-winning reporter who joined WUGA as a full-time producer in 2024. She is also a graduate student in UGA's Romance Languages Department, studying French and Spanish. She covers the breadth of Northeast Georgia stories, from Athens City Hall to Winterville farmers' markets. Emma's work has also been heard on Georgia Public Broadcasting.
