Maru Mora and Andrea Williams join Linda Olson-Osterlund to discuss the struggles of those who are facing deportation under Trump's regime.
At the end of December, immigrant activist Maru Mora Villalpando received a letter from ICE putting her in deportation proceedings. This coming Thursday, Maru will go before an immigration judge for the first hearing in her deportation case.
Maru is a fierce and tireless truth-speaker who has put her life on the line in the fight to end detention and deportation. She is clearly being targeted for her powerful activism, and she intends to continue fighting.
Andrea is the Executive Director of Causa, Oregon's immigrant rights organization. Causa works to improve the lives of Latino immigrants and their families in Oregon through advocacy, coalition building, leadership development, and civic engagement. Latino immigrants and their families are the heart of Causa and inspire, implement, and champion their work.
