How some immigrants reacted to the North Bay fires; a request from California’s senators; and plans to rebuild the hospitality business.
Yesterday, we heard about a new hotline that helps protect local immigrants who may be swept up in raids by Immigration officers. At the rally announcing the new Rapid Response phone line, news director Steve Mencher spoke with immigrant rights activist Anna Salgado. He asked whether her neighbors’ fears of deportation have been heightened by the North Bay Fires and how the hotline will help.
