PROGRAM #10731 12:00 PM PT

Immigration Edition. National Day of Action.

A coalition of progressive groups is planning nationwide protests on Saturday, April 5, with thousands expected to descend on Washington, DC. The rallies, called “Hands Off!,” are to protest Trump, Musk and Congress massive cuts to the federal budget. This is a roundup of reports on the upcoming actions.

Guests: Rosalba Piña, Immigration Attorney, Línea Abierta Commentator, Chicago, IL (TBC); others TBA.

Executive Orders: Authority Overreach? Immigrant families report living in a state of fear and uncertainty due to the threat of mass deportations and forced separation. What’s the impact of mass deportations on U.S. citizens, children in mixed-status families? What are the effects of mass deportations on the U.S. economy and Latino communities? And with the wave of executive orders and challenges to court decisions: is the White House overreaching its authority and moving into a constitutional crisis?

Guest: Rita Fernandez, Director of Immigration Policy, UnidosUS, Washington, DC.
