ICE in California: Know Your Rights. 

Volunteer teams and community emergency hotlines are reporting detentions and increased ICE activity in Fresno and other California cities. Heightened anxiety is spreading among residents. Amid reports of people being arrested despite having documents or U.S. citizenship, what precautions should be taken? What steps can individuals follow to defend themselves legally? What should be done if an arrest appears unlawful? How do community defense networks provide support?

Guests: TBA.

Parents Watch ICE. Amid fears of immigration raids, school communities across California have organized to protect students. Parents, teachers, and neighbors monitor ICE activity outside schools, accompany children on their routes, and deliver food to families afraid to leave home. How are children experiencing this climate of fear? How do these grassroots networks operate? What concrete support do they provide? How do they confront the constant threat of raids, and how are school authorities preparing?

Guests: TBA.

ICE detains young children. Liam Adrián Conejo Ramos was arrested, separated from his family, and transferred from Minnesota to a detention facility in Texas. The child’s detention sparked intense protests inside and outside the immigration jail. Reports indicate that Liam has health issues, and advocates warn of the long-term psychological harm immigration detention can cause children. How is Liam doing, and what is expected in his case? Which rights have been violated? What broader implications does this detention carry?

Guests: TBA.
