Andrew Willis Garcés of Siembra NC
One of the top news items at the start of the holiday season here in North Carolina has been the Trump administration’s latest anti-immigrant crackdown. The mass border patrol enforcement action has spurred chaos in several communities with tens of thousands of students skipping school, workers afraid to report to their jobs, and business owners shuttering their doors as masked individuals rounded up people with the use of highly questionable tactics.
Not surprisingly, as in many other parts of the country, thousands of North Carolinians are standing up to witness and document these often troubling actions and this past week Newsline sat down with an advocate whose organization is playing an important role in educating caring and thinking people about how they can support their immigrant neighbors, Siembra NC senior strategist, Andrew Willis Garcés.
