“Taken: The Agents Raiding Communities and the People Trying to Stop Them”: Maria Hinojosa #DemocracyNow!

A new special report from Futuro Media follows the Trump administration’s federal immigration raids and the growing community resistance against them. “Taken: The Agents Raiding Communities and the People Trying to Stop Them” documents how Latinos in the U.S. are being racially profiled, “kidnapped,” denied due process and forced to sign their own removal orders. “This is psychological terror,” says investigative journalist Maria Hinojosa. “Trump is saying we should have ethnic cleansing against Latinos and Latinas, if it hasn’t gone far enough.”

Hinojosa also comments on the recent public sexual harassment of Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum and the growing public profile of Border Patrol chief Gregory Bovino.
