The ICE raids in Los Angeles outside Home Depot stores and other public spaces have targeted day laborers seeking a day’s pay. Host Cristian Farias talks to immigration lawyer Ahilan Arulanantham about how these raids threaten a recognized First Amendment right of day laborers to seek work. Pablo Alvarado, co-executive director of the National Day Laborer Organizing Network, illuminates how day laborers have won hard-earned rights over decades of organizing and community-building.
Clarification: In this episode, we state that a 2011 federal appeals court ruling establishing a First Amendment right for day laborers to seek work in public also established the law for the entire nation. Instead, the case set binding precedent in the Ninth Circuit, and that precedent became persuasive authority for other courts throughout the nation.
