Jorge Torres, the National Organizing Director for the National Day Laborer Organizing Network (NDLON), joins the show to discuss how immigrant communities are mobilizing to resist Trump’s promised raids and mass deportations.
Despite widespread fear, Torres discusses the growing spirit of resistance, with communities realizing that “institutions are not going to save us.” Torres highlights how communities are forming “Migrant Defense Committees” as part of the mounting grassroots movement to fight back against Trump’s immigration crackdown and racist policies.
‘Migrant defense committees’ are springing up around the country against Trump’s mass ICE raids and deportations.
