Catherine Seitz: 作为一名法律援助工作者，我认为最高法院允许特朗普政府将移民驱逐到非原籍国，这对那些寻求庇护的人来说是一个巨大的损失。即使他们获得了暂缓遣返或《禁止酷刑公约》的保护，他们仍然可能被驱逐到不安全的第三国。这种做法不仅违背了我们保护弱势群体的原则，而且也使得那些为了逃离迫害而来到美国的人们感到更加的恐惧和不安。我无法理解将人们驱逐到他们不熟悉且可能不安全的国家的理由，这似乎只是为了阻止更多人寻求庇护，并恐吓那些已经在这里的人。这种政策不仅不人道，而且也破坏了我们国家的价值观。 Jean Guerrero: 作为一名记者，我观察到ICE在洛杉矶的不同社区制造恐怖，主要针对拉丁裔社区，在人们的家门口、学校门口抓人，而且经常是非法行动。各个种族和背景的人们都在挺身而出，保护他们的朋友、邻居和家人免受ICE的侵害，他们冒着被捕和人身安全的风险，记录正在发生的事情。这些记录揭示了特朗普政府制造的虚假现实，即他们只针对严重犯罪分子。事实上，他们针对的是那些为了寻求更好的生活而来到美国的普通人，这种做法不仅不公正，而且也加剧了社会的不安和分裂。

Shownotes Transcript

The Trump Administration has targeted Southern California for its harshest crackdown on immigrants. For the past few weeks, federal agents have raided restaurant kitchens and Home Depot parking lots and roughed up U.S. citizens, sparking anger and protests across the country. In Northern California, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement have arrested immigrants who show up for immigration court hearings. We’ll talk about how the administration has so far carried out its plans to deport millions of people and whether our region might experience the kind of widespread raids that have been conducted in Southern California.
