What a blessing Carlos is to the Hispanic people helping bridge the communication gap. I went to our foreign exchange student’s citizenship graduation ceremony and it was amazing. But until Congress and the judiciary branch stop the illegalities of Trump and the rich 🤑 radical ruthless Republicans and start upholding their oath to the Constitution things will not change, I’m afraid.

Meidas Touch has done a terrific job so far reporting on all issues related to ICE and immigration issues generally. Now, with Mi Gente, we will have access to even more great reporting. There are a lot of bilingual and bicultural/multicultural people who will especially appreciate this nuanced coverage.

This was a great interview. We need Carlos on Substack to keep showing us those ICE raids. It's not on the news like it was because Trump had to get the news off ICE arresting immigrant workers who are law-abiding hard-working Americans because those televised ICE illegal arrests in LA helped get Americans out on the streets for the No Kings weekend. People need to know every day that this is still happening and destroying families. Thank you, Carlos, and thank you, Meidas Touch.

It is straight up racist. Miller & Trump wants everyone gone. Profiling, unnecessary Force. ICE calls immigrants "bodies". Inhumane detention situations.

ICE is now using "stolen identity" warrants to bust into businesses & hassel everyone. What judges are signing these open warrants!?

First I'd like to kudo Carlos and other straight shooting un biased people for sharing their alternate viewpoint on what's happening in the US.

Here in Canada, the immigration picture is almost diametrically different from the US, the tendency is much more to welcome newcomers on merit and making sure that everyone has a chance to remain here with the minimum of hassle.

We are often overwhelmed by what we see happening across the border, and more so since Trump has kind of tried to bully us.

Many Canadians I must admit had seen Donald Trump as a kind of new democratic hero and even now have a hard time believing all the negative stuff they are seeing...

It's important that clear headed people like you tell it like it is where corporate media just toe the line.

So keep it up guys! Even up here we need the truth...

Thank you all for what you are doing.

By the way, I'm fluent in French, English and Spanish because of my work as a social songwriter, so anything I can pass on to my contacts is always welcome.
