Sin Fronteras: Holiday Feast and Travel in Difficult Times

THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 27

PROGRAM #10972  12:00 PM PT 

Sin Fronteras. This is a program of “Sin Fronteras,” a special series to serve audiences in the US and Mexico with breaking news and analysis about major developments impacting Latinos in the US.

Guests: Mariana Pineda, Reporter, Houston, TX; José López Zamorano, Correspondent, Washington, DC.

Holiday Feast and Travel in Difficult Times. 

President Trump claimed that Thanksgiving dinner is now cheaper than before — but he left out key data. How much will families actually spend? Correspondents also report widespread distrust of domestic and international travel due to the slow recovery of airports after the government shutdown, and tighter security checks and immigration inspections.

Guest: Rafael Olavarría, Politics and Migration Fact-checker, Factchequeado, Washington, DC.

Immigrant Gratitude Amid Federal Crackdowns. Despite the climate of fear and uncertainty generated by the current administration, immigrants across the United States find reasons to celebrate and give thanks. From different regions of the country, we share voices, testimonies, and stories from Latino communities whose capacity for gratitude rises above persecution, anxiety, and the fear of being — or looking like — a foreigner in this country.

Indigenous Voices at COP30. Leaders from nearly 200 nations gathered in Belém, Brazil, for the U.N. climate summit, where rights and climate justice took center stage. Organizers promised “unprecedented Indigenous participation.” How visible were the US’s Native nations? What climate challenges are affecting North American tribes? And were their perspectives reflected in the summit’s conclusions? This program coincides with the National Native American Heritage Day.

Guest: Marilyn Zepeda, Legislative Director, Climate Justice Alliance, Washington, DC today from Brazil.

Erased Indigenous Data. The Trump administration’s removal of the Not One More report — required under the 2020 Not Invisible Act — has alarmed Native communities. The report documented the national crisis of missing and murdered Indigenous people and included findings and more than 250 testimonies from affected families. As the National Native American Heritage Day is commemorated, urgent questions arise: Why hide this information? What did the data reveal, and why is sustained monitoring essential?
