The Impact of Immigration Policies on Communities

The episode discusses the ramifications of President Trump's stringent immigration policies, particularly the mass deportation initiatives aimed at undocumented immigrants. Many immigrant families feel a pervasive sense of fear and uncertainty, especially as raids can now occur in schools, churches, and hospitals. The experience of Saul Raskon Salazar, a DACA recipient, highlights these concerns as he grapples with the anxiety over the safety of his undocumented family members and the emotional toll of living under constant threat of deportation. The podcast emphasizes how these policies not only affect individuals but also ripple through entire communities, creating a culture of fear and mistrust.
