Massive Changes to the Immigration System.

Trump signed a mega plan that brings unprecedented funding for mass deportations. Now, ICE is becoming the largest police agency in US history and its budget is bigger than most militaries in the world. The huge budget will be spent on a border wall, thousands of agents, ICE raids, private jails, immigrant detention, and increased costs for legal immigration. How could this law transform the immigration system? How can immigrants survive and find resilience in the new era of mass detention and deportations?

Guests: Samuel Orozco, Director of National News and Information, Radio Bilingüe, Fresno, CA; Rosalba Piña, Immigration Attorney, Chicago, IL.
