Is Mass Deportation Racially Motivated?

John Carlos Frey sits down with Vanessa Cárdenas, Executive Director of America’s Voice, to talk about what mass deportation is doing to immigrant families, U.S. citizens, and the country itself.

Cárdenas came to the U.S. from Bolivia at 14. Today she’s having the same conversation with her own U.S.-born kids that Latino families across the country are having: what to do if ICE pulls you over. Her cousin now carries a copy of her U.S.-citizen daughter’s passport, just in case. Relatives with legal status ask whether carrying their papers is enough.

They talk about racial profiling and whether this crackdown is about enforcement or about who people are. Despite everything, Cárdenas practices what she calls “the discipline of hope.”
