Amiga, if you're feeling the heaviness right now, I feel you. This is my first episode back from maternity leave, and I could not come back without acknowledging what we are collectively experiencing. With everything happening around ICE and the way our immigrant communities are being targeted, this moment feels deeply personal, especially for those of us who are first-gen and daughters of immigrants. This isn't just politics. This is trauma resurfacing. This is fear we grew up with showing up again in real time. In this episode, I'm holding space for the emotions many of us are feeling fear, sadness, anger, helplessness, and I'm also sharing simple, intentional ways we can activate, resist, and take up space as Latina leaders right now. ✨ What I Talk About in This Episode Why what's happening is retraumatizing for so many first-gen Latinas How growing up as daughters of immigrants shaped our fear, resilience, and leadership Why silence is often rooted in privilege and why some people don't have the option to speak How to show up with intention instead of pressure or performative activism Why becoming the best version of ourselves is a powerful form of resistance

Businesses across Minnesota are feeling the strain as the Trump administration's immigration crackdown moves into its seventh week.Immigrant-owned businesses — and companies that rely on immigrant workers — have been hit especially hard. Employers say many workers are staying home, worried about being stopped or detained by immigration officers. At the same time, customers are also staying away, as fear and tension ripple through communities following the recent killings of two U.S. citizens, Alex Pretti and Renee Good. The result? Short-staffing, reduced hours, lost revenue — and a lot of uncertainty about what comes next. MPR News guest host Chris Farrell looks at how this surge in enforcement is disrupting business as usual and what people can do to support their local shops and restaurants.Guests: R.T. Rybak is the president and CEO of the Minneapolis Foundation, which just announced plans to distribute $3.5 million to businesses hurt by the immigration enforcement surge. He is also a former mayor of Minneapolis. Miguel Hernandez is the owner of Lito's Burritos, with locations on Lake Street in Minneapolis and Richfield. He grew up working in his parents' Richfield restaurant, El Tejaban Mexican Grill. Subscribe to the MPR News with Angela Davis podcast on: Apple Podcasts, Spotify or RSS.Use the audio player above to listen to the full conversation.      

The Trump administration's attacks on migrants in the United States has attempted to instill fear in American citizens, immigrants, and governments worldwide. Migrants have been dehumanized in the past (this is not new), but there is an increased awareness of immigrant policies and injustices due to the administration's hateful rhetoric, including insults targeting different migrant populations. To wrap up Season 2, Tania and Adriana touch on this topic that is close to their hearts. While it's a heavy topic, the episode ends with positive news and solutions (as always)!Resources for ImmigrantsKnow Your RightsLearn MoreTania's Article: Life at the U.S.-Mexico Border Under Trump Administration - Migrant Women PressTwo women on Tik Tok track ICE Charlottesville, NC community stands up to ICELos Angeles protests against ICEOrganizations to SupportBorder KindnessBorder AngelsMN Immigrant Rights Action Committee DefinitionsEnvironmental justice: a social movement that addresses injustice that occurs when marginalized communities are harmed by hazardous waste, resource extraction, and other land uses from which they do not benefit.Climate justice: a type of environmental justice that focuses on the unequal impacts of climate change on marginalized populations.Global North and Global South: terms used to categorize countries by socio-economic development, with the Global North comprising wealthy nations and the Global South including less affluent countries, reflecting global inequalities in wealth, power, and resources.Asylum: an asylum seeker is a person who has left their country and is seeking protection but has not yet been legally recognized as a refugeeRefugee: someone who has fled due to risk of persecution or serious human rights violations and has been granted international protection.ICE: International Customs Enforcement Border Patrol (also known as Border Patrol) is a division of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (DHS) responsible for border security and interior enforcement, including inspections, apprehensions, and removal processes.If you liked this episode, please rate and review the podcast on your favorite streaming platform.

In this episode of the Edward R. Murrow Award winning podcast Immigration Crisis: The Fight for the Southern Border, Emmy winning journalist Yami Virgin and photojournalist and editor Paul Sanchez examine how wealth and investment influence legal immigration. As debate grows over high dollar visa pathways, supporters say these programs create jobs and boost the economy, while critics question fairness and access. Yami speaks with immigration attorney Abteen Vaziri, an Iranian American who came to the U.S. as a political refugee and now works with the EB-5 visa program, which allows immigrants to pursue a green card by investing in U.S. businesses that generate American jobs.

As federal immigration enforcement has surged in Minnesota, so has assistance to immigrants.Across Minnesota, people are supporting immigrant neighbors who are too afraid to leave their homes.Volunteers are delivering groceries and giving rides. They're helping with rent and pitching in with everything from dog walking to legal services. The support is grassroots, organized through local neighborhood groups, congregations and school communities.  MPR News Guest host Catharine Richert talks with guests and listeners about what volunteers are doing, what motivates them and the impact they're having.

All we need is one special person in our life to change our destiny. When Irina mentioned that her grandmother had taught her to sew, I knew there was something very telling about her maternal role models in her life.  Irina introduces us to her mother, Etya and Grandmother Beyla, who was a seamstress. Unfortunately, Etya's father died when she was a young teen in Russia.Etya was born and lived in Russia till the age of 25. She was one of three children, came from a poor family at a time when it was difficult to be successful in Russia. Etya was the kind of child that "always wanted more than what was available," says my guest about her mom.My guest, Irina was born in Russia  and came to America as a Jewish refugee when 2 1/12 years old.  What is it like to grow up with a mother who always thought of herself first?  "She told me I  that I was worthless and stupid all the time" says Lester of her mother.  "I was always in her way and she was always exhausted by me." Irina says she developed survival skills at a very young age.It wasn't until Beyla, Irina's grandmother, insisted on taking her granddaughter to her place of work as a seamstress or to her home, "where she felt safe, loved and cared for and allowed to be a kid," continues Lester. This is when and how Irina's life started to turn around.  I know that there are many children that never get this lifeline through out their life. Irina got lucky but there certainly are many scars that she wears with frustration, hurt  and humility.Previously divorced and a single mom, Irina struggled to care for her young daughter, so she's familiar with what her mother experienced, but it doesn't mean that you have the right to mistreat and/or abuse your child because you are a narcissist. "The local Yarn Store",  in  large part, is due to the influence her grandmother had on my guest's life. Beyla introduced  Irina  to embroidering and hand stitching and so much more.  Irina says, "my grandmother taught me to appreciate the beauty and the creative process and the functionality of the basics of clothing."  Luckily, Irina inherited her grandmother's sewing machine and is now an avid knitter.Hear the full story when you listen to this episode of SHLTMM. https://thelocalyarnstore.com/https://www.facebook.com/The-Local-Yarn-Store-324924261265048     "Should Have Listened To My Mother" is an ongoing conversation about mothers/female role models and the roles they play in our lives.

Please note: This episode was recorded on Friday, January 23 2026. Recently, Dog-Eared Books shared a reading list designed to help deepen our understanding of fascism, full of titles we believe are essential for thoughtful learning. We paired that list with a quote from George Orwell's 1984 as part of a window display at the store, and the response was overwhelming. Comments poured in from across the country and around the world. Today, we're taking a closer look at that reading list of both fiction and nonfiction books, and reflecting on why their ideas remain so urgent and important.

Dave Rubin of "The Rubin Report" talks to Ayaan Hirsi Ali about her Somali background and the clan-based system shaping Somali society; how clan loyalty and political Islam operate as alternative moral systems that clash with Western nation-states; how these dynamics inform Somali communities in Minnesota, fraud scandals, and identity politics; the influence of Islamist networks like the Muslim Brotherhood; Democratic electoral strategies built around ethnic blocs and dependency; the broader threat to liberal democracy and Western values; about Ilhan Omar's role at the intersection of clan loyalty, Islamist influence, and Democratic Party politics; how Somali clan dynamics and Muslim Brotherhood networks operate in Minnesota; the red-green alliance between progressives and Islamists; Europe's multiculturalism error and electoral opportunism; the long-term consequences for Western democracy; whether the U.S. and Western Europe can realistically reverse mass immigration, identity politics, and radical ideology through border control, remigration, and political reform; the decline of classical liberalism and why it struggles to defend itself; her intellectual journey from atheism to Christianity as a search for liberalism's moral roots; the choice between Christian and Islamist societies through lived examples; why the danger of abandoning Judeo-Christian values leads societies toward authoritarianism, violence, and collapse; and much more.

On Wednesday, January 21, hundreds of immigrant rights advocates rallied at the State Capitol to urge state lawmakers to include funding and policy protections for immigrant New Yorkers in the FY26 budget and legislative session. The New York Immigration Coalition and allies called on the legislature to pass the New York for All Act and the Access to Representation and BUILD Acts as part of the state budget. Advocates argued that with federal immigration enforcement intensifying, New York must provide concrete protections for immigrant communities. Prior to the rally, we have a quick interview with Murad Awawdeh, President of the New York Immigration Coalition. Murad also served as Emcee of the rally. We hear from Assemblymember Catalina Cruz, Yousaf Sherzad of the Afghan Community Center, Catherine Grainge of Jericho Road Community Health Center of Buffalo, Senator Andrew Gounardes, and Assemblymember Katrina Reyes.

Virginia is on track to get one of its nastiest winter storms in years, but fear of another ICE, Immigration and Customs Enforcement, is on the mind of immigrant Virginians. Governor Abigail Spanberger tried to address those concerns this, as Brad Kutner reports.

The state of Minnesota is under siege by our own federal government, and residents—immigrant and US-born alike—are living in fear. With the deployment of over 3,000 federal agents to Minnesota in recent weeks,  this is the Trump administration's largest and most violent so-called “immigration enforcement” operation yet—and with President Trump threatening to invoke the Insurrection Act in Minnesota in response to protests over ICE's terror campaign, the situation on the ground is extremely volatile. Amid this federal invasion, unions, community organizations, faith leaders, and small businesses in Minnesota are calling for a statewide day of “no work (except for emergency services), no school, and no shopping” on January 23.In this urgent episode, we speak with three union members and organizers in the Twin Cities—Daniel Troccoli, Douglas Williams, and Janette Corcelius—about the situation on the ground in Minnesota, and about the proposed general strike this Friday.Additional links/info:1/23: ICE OUT OF MN call to action and Facebook event page1/23 ICE OUT OF MN Org Sign UpSarah Lazare & Amie Stager, In These Times, “‘We are facing a tsunami of hate': Amid ICE crackdown, unions and community groups call for Minnesota shutdown in 10 Days”Luis Feliz Leon, Labor Notes, “Will ICE ignite a mass strike in Minnesota?”Suzanne Gamboa, Shaquille Brewster, & Colin Sheeley, NBC News, “Immigration officers around Minneapolis are approaching people and demanding proof that they're U.S. citizens”Rachel Leingang & Maanvi Singh, The Guardian, “‘Make no mistake, this is an occupation': ICE's deadly presence casts long shadow over Minneapolis”Joseph Cox, 404 Media, “Inside ICE's tool to monitor phones in entire neighborhoods”John Hamilton, Democracy Now!, “ICE vs. People of Minnesota: A special report on community resistance to Trump's militarized crackdown”Featured Music:Jules Taylor, Working People Theme SongCredits:Audio Post-Production: Jules TaylorBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-real-news-podcast--2952221/support.Help us continue producing radically independent news and in-depth analysis by following us and becoming a monthly sustainer.Follow us on:Bluesky: @therealnews.comFacebook: The Real News NetworkTwitter: @TheRealNewsYouTube: @therealnewsInstagram: @therealnewsnetworkBecome a member and join the Supporters Club for The Real News Podcast today!

Immigrant and legal rights groups are calling for the federal government to close the nation's largest immigration detention center. Three people have died in custody at Camp East Montana in El Paso, Texas. That includes Victor Manuel Diaz, who was arrested in Minneapolis and died at the detention center on Jan. 14. ICE officials believe his death was a suicide, according to a press release, but it's under investigation.Attorneys in Minnesota said many of their clients who have been taken into ICE custody recently have been sent to Camp East Montana, sometimes within hours of arrest. MPR News host Nina Moini spoke with Washington Post reporter Douglas MacMillan, who has been covering the detention center since before it opened in August.

Federal officials say there's been another death at an immigration detention facility in Texas. The AP's Jennifer King reports.

A conference for new immigrant physicians was recently held in Jerusalem, as part of a program spearheaded by the Ministry of Aliya and Integration together with partner organizations that streamlines their integration into the Israeli healthcare system. More than 540 physicians moved to Israel from around the world last year. One of them is Dr. Carly Debinski, a pediatric neurologist who immigrated from Australia this past summer, and who has joined the Sheba medical center. She spoke to KAN reporter Naomi Segal.

As courts rebuke ICE violence in Minneapolis, and Donald Trump doubles down on corrupting the Justice Department by opening investigations into Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz and Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey, Americans are watching everything that is taking place and are not liking what they see. Jen Psaki looks at how the tide has turned on Trump after his obnoxious handling of what used to be his strongest issue, immigration. Many Americans don't realize that Donald Trump has sent so many ICE agents to the Twin Cities area that they are literally everywhere, and of course, they are not a benign presence. St. Paul, Minnesota Mayor Kaohly Her talks with Jen Psaki about what life is like in a Donald Trump police state and how neighbors are trying to help and protect each other from the malevolent presence of Trump's federal enforcers.

In October 2025, more than 30 farmworkers were arrested outside Woodburn, OR in a raid by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement. It was one of ICE’s most aggressive enforcement actions that year in Oregon. But it was also one of the moments that led the state’s largest farmworker union to launch a series of monthly boycotts in protest.   Why? Immigrant labor fuels the state’s economic engine, and so do their dollars: 2023 data show immigrants in Oregon hold about $14 billion in spending power and contribute more than $5 billion in taxes. The boycotts, which kicked off in December, urge immigrants to refrain from economic activity, including working, shopping and going to school.   Reyna Lopez is the president and executive director of Pineros y Campesinos Unidos del Noroeste (PCUN). She joins us to talk about the first day of boycotts, as well as the goals they hope to achieve.

It's Thursday, January 15th, A.D. 2026. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Jonathan Clark North Korea, Somalia, Yemen, & Sudan top 4 persecuting countries Open Doors released its 2026 World Watch List yesterday. The report ranks the top 50 countries where Christians face the most extreme persecution. Once again, North Korea is ranked the worst country for persecution followed by Somalia, Yemen, Sudan, and Eritrea. The remaining top 10 countries are Syria, Nigeria, Pakistan, Libya, and Iran. One out of seven Christians are persecuted worldwide. Between October 2024 and September 2025, the report documented that 4,849 Christians were killed for their faith. Over 90% of the killings occurred in sub-Saharan Africa, especially Nigeria.  Hebrews 13:3 says, “Remember the prisoners as if chained with them—those who are mistreated—since you yourselves are in the body also.” 2,000 Iranian protestors killed by Islamic regime Millions of Iranians have been protesting against the country's Islamic regime since December 28. Activists report that 2,000 people have been killed as the regime has cracked down on protestors.  Listen to comments from U.S. President Donald Trump. TRUMP: “To all Iranian patriots, keep protesting, take over your institutions, if possible. … I've cancelled all meetings with the Iranian officials until the senseless killing of protesters stops. And all I say to them is ‘Help is on its way!' You saw that I put tariffs on anybody doing business with Iran. Just went into effect today.” During this unrest, please pray for the underground church in Iran to remain strong and find opportunities to minister.  Pentagon moving carrier strike group toward Middle East amid Iran tension In a related story, the Pentagon is moving a carrier strike group from the South China Sea to the U.S. Central Command area of responsibility, which includes the Middle East, as tensions escalate between the Trump administration and Iran, reports NewsNation. Moving the carrier strike group — a naval formation centering around an aircraft carrier, with a variety of support from other vessels — is expected to take about a week. The significant transfer of American military hardware comes amid developments related to unrest in Iran and questions about whether the White House will offer support to opponents of Iran's autocratic, Islamicregime. Franklin Graham calls America to prayer and repentance In the Untied States, Evangelist Franklin Graham called for a time of prayer and repentance across the nation. The call came as “the streets of America boil over with hate, anger, crime, drugs, and just sheer hopelessness.” Listen to comments from Graham. GRAHAM: “I encourage people to pray. And first of all, we need to repent as a nation. We need to repent of our sins and turn from those sins. And we need to repent of our own sins, not just the nation's sins, but our personal sins, and ask God to forgive us.” 2 Chronicles 7:14 says, “If My people who are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from Heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land.” Trump withdraws from 66 int'l groups, conventions, and treaties The Trump administration announced last Wednesday that the U.S. is withdrawing from 66 international organizations, conventions, and treaties. One of those organizations is the United Nations Population Fund, known for its support of abortion.  Marco Rubio, the U.S. Secretary of State, said, “From DEI mandates to ‘gender equity' campaigns to climate orthodoxy, many international organizations now serve a globalist project. … These organizations actively seek to constrain American sovereignty.” State Department pauses immigrant visas from 75 countries Plus, the U.S. Department of State announced yesterday that it will pause immigrant visa processing from 75 countries.  Those nations include Somalia, Russia, Afghanistan, Iran, and Nigeria.  The State Department said migrants from these countries “take welfare from the American people at unacceptable rates.” U.S. overdose deaths fell New federal data shows U.S. overdose deaths fell last year. Overdose deaths involving opioids and now fentanyl have been on the rise since the 1990s. An estimated 73,000 people died from overdoses during the 12-month period ending in August 2025. That's down 21% from the previous 12-month period.  Researchers suggest this drop is connected with recent regulation changes in China. These changes decreased the availability of chemicals used to make fentanyl.    4,000 U.S. Protestant churches closed in 2024 Lifeway Research reports more Protestant churches closed in the U.S. than opened. Four thousand churches were closed in America in 2024. Meanwhile, only 3,800 churches were started. That's better than 2019 when there were only 3,000 openings and 4,500 closings. Openings have not outpaced closings since 2014 when there were 4,000 openings and 3,700 closings. Christian/Gospel music ranked among top 10 genres And finally, Luminate released its 2025 year-end music report. Christian and Gospel music ranked among the top 10 genres in the U.S. last year. Plus, Christian/Gospel was also one of the highest-growth genres in terms of on-demand audio streams. WINANS: “For Your mercy never fails me All my days, I've been held in Your hands From the moment that I wake up Until I lay my head Oh, I will sing of the goodness of God “'Cause all my life You have been faithful And all my life You have been so, so good With every breath that I am able Oh, I will sing of the goodness of God.” That was Cece Winans singing the “Goodness of God.” When it came to music released in the last 18 months, Christian/Gospel music saw the most growth in streams of any genre. Colossians 3:16 reminds us, “Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom, teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.” Close And that's The Worldview on this Thursday, January 15th, in the year of our Lord 2026. Follow us on X or subscribe for free by Spotify, Amazon Music, or by iTunes or email to our unique Christian newscast at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus (Adam@TheWorldview.com).

What if breaking your family's silence was the first step to truly finding yourself? Author and educator, Dr. Joan Sung, joins Karena in Austin for a candid conversation about identity, intergenerational trauma, and what it really takes to prioritize mental health, especially within Asian American family systems. From the model minority myth to “tiger mom” dynamics, fetishization, and going “no contact”, Joan shares the tools, boundaries, and mindset shifts that helped her reclaim her story and raise her son with compassion and strength.

AP correspondent Donna Warder reports on immigrant visas suspended for citizens of 75 countries.

The U.S. State Department has paused the issuance of immigrant visas for nationals of 75 countries at consulates worldwide. While applications and interviews will continue, visas will not be issued during the pause, including for already approved cases. The move disproportionately affects Black and brown nations and is tied to a broader administrative review.

Whose side is the media on? Coverage of the latest Minneapolis ICE shooting has quickly split into competing narratives. Outlets citing the Department of Homeland Security emphasize officials’ claim that the Venezuelan man (along with two others) “ambushed and attacked” an ICE officer during a targeted traffic stop, noting he fled in a vehicle, crashed, and later struggled with agents before being shot in the leg. Other reporting highlights the timing — exactly one week after the killing of Renee Nicole Good — and claims ICE agents are creating chaos in Minneapolis, Minnesota.

In the U.S., a large proportion of immigrant communities remain unable to access healthcare. And even before the fall of Roe v. Wade, Latine people, immigrants, and communities of color faced disproportionate barriers to abortion care. Criminalization, ICE raids, travel, and language barriers further deter immigrant communities from seeking abortion care. Lupe Rodriguez, Executive Director of the National Latina Institute for Reproductive Justice (NLIRJ), sits down to talk with us about how immigrant justice and reproductive justice intersect. Latine people make up 41% of uninsured people in the country, and a large portion of that number reflects immigrant communities. Many immigrants, depending on the type of immigration status they hold, are not eligible for Medicaid. In some states, undocumented immigrants are not able to buy health insurance through the Affordable Care Act's (ACA) marketplace. In addition, language barriers increase the difficulty of navigating the healthcare system. The “One Big Beautiful Bill Act,” (OBBBA), passed earlier this year, will be devastating. According the NLIRJ, nearly 1 in 3 Latine people around the country rely on Medicaid for healthcare access, and many Latine communities also rely on Planned Parenthood as a hub for healthcare access. Combatting mis- and dis-information, building community, and progressive policy change can make a difference in this horrible moment. For more information, check out Seriously?!: https://liftlouisiana.squarespace.com/seriously?offset=1551988440394 Support the showFollow Us on Social: Twitter: @rePROsFightBack Instagram: @reprosfbFacebook: rePROs Fight Back Bluesky: @reprosfightback.bsky.social Buy rePROs Merch: Bonfire store Email us: jennie@reprosfightback.comRate and Review on Apple PodcastThanks for listening & keep fighting back!

Immigrant entrepreneurs often build businesses to last, and their approach to resilience, hospitality, and value creation offers powerful lessons for any small business owner. Show Notes Page: https://www.thehowofbusiness.com/591-neri-sillaman-survival-to-sustainable/ In this episode, Henry Lopez talks with Neri Karra Sillaman, author of Pioneers: Eight Principles of Business Longevity from Immigrant Entrepreneurs, about what immigrant entrepreneurs can teach us about building businesses that endure. Neri shares her remarkable journey from growing up in a Turkish minority family in communist Bulgaria, being forced to flee as refugees, and helping her family rebuild their lives and livelihoods in Turkey. She explains how those early experiences shaped her view of entrepreneurship, not as a career choice, but as a means of survival that later evolved into a powerful business philosophy. Drawing from her family's business experience and her formal business education, Neri discusses several of the core principles from her book, including resilience, authentic hospitality, cultural bridge-building, and a focus on long-term value rather than short-term profit. She explains how immigrant entrepreneurs often leverage past hardship, adaptability, and deep human connection to create businesses that last across generations. Whether you are an immigrant entrepreneur or a small business owner looking to build something sustainable, this conversation offers practical insights on trust, perseverance, and designing a business for longevity. This episode is hosted by Henry Lopez. The How of Business podcast focuses on helping you start, run, grow and exit your small business.

David Choe is a world-renowned artist, writer, podcaster and TV host. He tells how as a child, he was made to believe he was destined for greatness but also that he was a complete disgrace, leading him to channel his energy—including deep shame—into art that brought him global recognition. He shares about his addictions that put him on a decades-long cycle of extreme highs and lows and that forced him to eventually acknowledge and heal the childhood trauma he was battling inside. David shows up with raw, authentic presence to show us how we can transmute pain and shame into our best creative work and, more importantly, how complete vulnerability, especially about our hardest experiences, is the ultimate tool for forgiveness and self-acceptance. He also tells us the actual story about early Facebook, Pee-wee Herman and Santa Claus. Note: This conversation includes topics and language that may not be suitable for younger audiences.
