As immigration enforcement actions intensify across the country, communities are responding with a growing wave of resistance from lawsuits and civil rights complaints to school-based organizing and coordinated local defense efforts. Aggressive ICE raids, street arrests, and the use of force have heightened fear in many communities while also triggering new forms of pushback from families, advocates, and local officials.
Pilar Marerro from American Community Media explores how that resistance is taking shape at multiple levels, the risks communities face as enforcement becomes more aggressive and confrontational, and the current trajectory of ICE operations. She spoke with Amanda Otero, parent from Minnesota Public Schools, and co-executive director of Take Action Minnesota, Vanessa Cárdenas, Executive Director, America's Voice and Ann Garcia, Staff Attorney, National Immigration Project.
