Often talked about but never heard from in corporate media, the Salvadoran community in Washington DC has been often overlooked in the DMV narrative. So the LMC speaks with Ana Patricia Rodriguez to discuss how the Salvadoran diaspora helped build Washington as we know it today and the sacrifices immigrants make for their children’s futures.
Ana Patricia Rodríguez is an Associate Professor, School of Languages, Literatures, and Cultures @ the University of Maryland in College Park. She is also the author of “Avocado Dreams: Remaking Salvadoran Life and Art in the Washington, D.C. Metro Area.”
As the Trump administration expands its anti-immigrant crusade to Chicago, the LMC speaks with freelance writer Hector Cervantes on how the threat of ICE and the National Guard affects the Windy City and how local residents fight back.
Amid ongoing protests and outrage over numerous ICE raids in Los Angeles and throughout the country, the LMC spends the hour with freelance journalist Victoria Valenzuela on US law enforcement’s long connections with Israeli police training and how the youth of L.A. are fighting back.
