Immigrants fear uncertain future post-election

TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 12
PROGRAM #10591 12:00 PM PT

Immigration Edition. 

After the presidential election results, millions of immigrants across the United States now live in fear and with an uncertain future. During his campaign, Trump vowed to deport millions of immigrants and end birthright citizenship for children born in the US to undocumented parents. Immigrant-rights organizations are vowing to fight back against Trump’s policies that target migrants. What can immigrant communities expect from a second Trump administration? What should immigrant families know? What can DACA and TPS-protected immigrants do?

Guests: Rosalba Piña, Immigration Attorney, Chicago, IL; Monika Y. Langarica, Senior Staff Attorney, Center for the Immigration Law and Policy-CILP at the UCLA School of Law, Los Angeles, CA; Keilly Leon, North Regional Organizer, Colorado Immigrant Rights Coalition-CIRC, Greeley, CO; Carolina Castaneda, Staff Attorney and Lead Fellowship Trainer, Immigrant Legal Resource Center-ILRC, San Francisco, CA, today from Madera, CA.
