As the inhumane, anti-immigrant ICE raids continue to worsen across the country, destabilizing already vulnerable communities and beyond, people are starting to wake-up to this cruel reality. Carlos Eduardo Espina, nonprofit director and immigration activist, joins Jen to explain the obstacles and violence migrants in the U.S. face, the Trump Administration’s staunch overreach, and the changing political landscape in Texas.
“We need people who are filming and who are documenting all these things,” Carlos says, listing how neighbors and community members can support and uplift immigrant communities. “I think the average American with empathy…. is seeing a lot of this stuff going on and saying….this is going way too far.” Carlos adds that we need to reach out to young people who voted for Trump. According to Carlos, everything is not what it seems, and it’s now more vital than ever to band together.
