Immigrant Workers Terrorized in Mississippi Raids By Trumps ICE While He Grandstands in El Paso After Triggering White Nationalist Massacre! with Bill Chandler, Executive Director, Mississippi Immigrant Rights Alliance and Luis Espinoza, Central Mississippi Community Organizer
While Trump was forcing himself on El Paso, a city that wanted no part of him, he sent his immigration officials to several Mississippi food processing plants where they terrorized thousands of workers.
This ICE operation should be considered an act of terror committed against working families by the Trump administration, acting under the guise of profoundly unjust immigration laws inspired by racist and xenophobic contempt against people from Mexico and Latin America. Raids targeting workers who are fighting every day to care for their families are a waste of public resources that could otherwise be spent combatting the white nationalist terrorism that has claimed the lives of so many over the years, including the other week in Texas.
As "Oscar Chacon, Executive Director of Alianza Americas said, We must redouble our efforts to protect vulnerable families. For we who are dedicated to social justice and human dignity we must step up to protect the families being attacked being attacked, they are our neighbors who make massive economic and cultural contributions to our communities and country.
