In this special bonus episode of Pacific Underground, we discuss the recent impact created by Trump's executive orders on immigration on immigrant communities and speak with advocates to see how people are fighting to protect people in vulnerable positions. Immigration attorney, Diana Fakhrai, talks to us about what's been going on at the airports for those that are detained and what vulnerable people should know about travelling to and from the United States. Then we interview community advocates to see what immigrants in the United States can do to help face the challenges created by the recent changes. For our final segment, we take a look at the Oregon Nikkei Legacy Center's latest exhibit, Yellow Terror: The Collection and Paintings of Robert Shimomura and talk about modern propaganda that feeds into our Islamophobic culture.
