As the Trump administration ramps up immigration arrests, it's promoting a simple story: They are getting the dangerous criminals out. But to get to the massive numbers of deportations that President Donald Trump has promised, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement is also arresting people without violent or criminal offenses on their records. Those arrests have spread fear among undocumented immigrants and their family members.Today, a look inside two recent ICE arrests.

In 2000, the movie “Erin Brockovich” helped put the small town of Hinkley, California, on the map. The movie stars Julia Roberts as a determined law clerk who takes on the massive utility company Pacific Gas & Electric, which had been dumping chromium-6, the dangerous chemical, in Hinkley's groundwater. Brockovich is depicted gathering evidence and building a legal case against the utility. And she prevails: The movie concludes with a landmark settlement awarded to residents. But that Hollywood ending isn't the whole story. Many residents say the settlement didn't go far to cover mounting medical bills and moving costs. And the chromium-6 cleanup proved to be slow. It was stymied by the difficulty of containing widespread contamination and a small local water board lacking the power to enforce stricter standards. Today, Hinkley is a ghost town, and the water there is still contaminated with chromium-6.On the 50th anniversary of the Safe Drinking Water Act, investigative reporter Silvia Foster-Frau has traveled the country reporting on where America has fallen short in its promise of providing clean drinking water. In the final installment in this series, she returns to Hinkley to learn why, even with a massive spotlight, it can be so hard to clean up toxic tap water.Today's show was produced by Emma Talkoff.

Despite being the world's wealthiest nation, the U.S. has communities that are still exposed to toxic tap water. Today, we hear how a city in New Mexico has struggled with high levels of arsenic in its water — and how its residents are fighting back. Read more:Fifty years after the passage of the Safe Drinking Water Act, which is supposed to limit toxins in Americans' water, many people around the country cannot safely drink from the tap.Drinking water samples tested in Sunland Park, a small New Mexico city, found illegally high levels of arsenic in each of the past 16 years. In 2016, levels reached five times the legal limit.The city also reflects parts of the United States — low-income areas and Latino communities — that are particularly exposed to arsenic in their drinking water at higher rates than any other racial or ethnic group, even when controlling for socioeconomic factors. In Sunland Park, residents' complaints have mounted in recent months, and some are taking the first steps toward filing a lawsuit. Today on “Post Reports,” we talk to investigative reporter Silvia Foster-Frau about her reporting from New Mexico and why problems with toxic water there — and elsewhere in the country — persist.

More than a week later, what we know and don't know about how a gunman carried out a massacre at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Tex. — and why the timeline from authorities keeps changing.Read more:In the days since a shooter killed 19 children and two teachers at Robb Elementary School, new and horrifying details about the timeline of events keep emerging. We now know that the gunman was able to walk into the school unimpeded. We know that children called 911 from within classrooms pleading for help. But we still don't know exactly why it took so long for authorities to stop the gunman. Silvia Foster-Frau reports on what happened during a devastating 90-minute window.

Another tragic mass shooting has many asking an all-too familiar question.  How could this happen again?  Why wasn't odd behavior from the shooter flagged?  The shooter was able to legally purchase two rifles within days of him turning 18.  When it came to the massacre, the 19 children and two adults he killed were all in one classroom.  Relatives and former friends said he was bullied for a speech impediment and did not have a good relationship with his mother, which is why he was living with his grandmother, who he shot in the face.  Silvia Foster-Frau, national reporter at The Washington Post, joins us for what to know.   Next, as more are readying themselves to travel this summer, be prepared for anything.  A lot can go wrong with flight delays or cancellations or even rental cars not being available.  If a flight is cancelled, try everything you can from standing in line, checking the airline website, or even calling them out on social media and since speed is of the essence, grab the first thing that comes up or it could be gone very fast.  Dawn Gilbertson, ‘Carry On' columnist at the WSJ, joins us for a worst-case scenario guide.

Silvia Foster-Frau is a reporter for the Washington Post and we spoke about the complexity behind being a Latinx-American. Hispanic Heritage Month falls between two months, it's almost symbolic for the way most of us feel, "Ni de aquí, ni de alla." We are stuck in the in between of not being American enough to be American and not being Latinx enough to be Latinx. As Edward James Olmos said, "it's exhausting!" The amount of gatekeeping Latinx have to deal with throughout their life puts a heavy burden of limitations on us. From people with Latinx heritage who do not speak Spanish seen as less than, to people who cannot speak English also seen as less than. We are in a sliding scale of identity. All of these topics are explored in Silvia Foster-Frau and Rachel Hatzipanagos' Washington Post Article, Somos Latinos.
