In this episode, Colin explores the impact of recent ICE and Customs and Border Patrol raids on Charlotte's Latinx community. Despite approximately 270 arrests with most detainees having no criminal records, these events have incited widespread fear, causing a shutdown similar to the COVID-19 lockdown. Community leaders, like Sarah Hernandez from Operacion Esperanza, and local churches have mobilized to support affected families by organizing food drops and providing essential services. The episode highlights the resilience and solidarity among community members and emphasizes ongoing needs and ways to help, as fears of further raids persist.
