In this episode, Bill talks with California Senator Alex Padilla about the significant impacts of the Trump administration's immigration policies on Southern California communities. Padilla discusses the fear and economic repercussions faced by immigrant families and the broader community, addressing issues such as indiscriminate ICE raids, racial profiling, and the failure to prioritize dangerous criminals. Padilla emphasizes the role of immigrants in California's economy and the broader necessity of humane and sensible immigration reform. Also covered are the legal challenges against these immigration actions, the importance of due process, and the political dynamics influencing immigration policy. The conversation also touches on the possible future political ambitions of California figures like Gavin Newsom and Kamala Harris.
Bill highlights the work of the Latino Victory Fund, an organization dedicated to building political power in the Latino community. More information at LatinoVictory.org.
