Latinx On The Rise

Detention Centers in the US have become money making machines but at what cost. If we’re honest with ourselves, people’s lives are the cost. In this episode I speak to Maru Mora Villalpando a member of La Resistencia in Seattle, WA. La Resistencia along with multiple non-profits across the country have been bringing migrant issues during this pandemic to the forefront. The moment Coronavirus arrived in the US it was only a matter of time before it hit prisons and detention centers. This is something that most of us active in the migrant community feared beyond our own health and well being. Maru and I speak about improper Covid testing, unauthorized procedures done and harmful chemicals used in detention facilities.
