On this week’s Fresnolandia podcast, Jordan and Danielle speak with Gisselle Medina, religion, culture and immigration reporter at Fresnoland; Melissa Montalvo, accountability reporter at The Fresno Bee, and Armida Mendoza, a Fresno-based immigration attorney, to discuss how ICE and Border Patrol’s immigration enforcement tactics in Fresno have changed over the past year under the Trump Administration.
They talk about how the data shows that detentions in the Central Valley are up by 58% since this time last year; how ICE is detaining some people attending their scheduled appointments necessary to obtain legal status; and, discuss what the ‘legal’ process is.
