Show Notes
Undocumented farmworkers in Washingtons Skagit Valley grapple with constant fear amidst Trumps immigration crackdown. A Mexican couple, with three U.S. citizen children, rarely leave their apartment due to ICE arrests. Over 344,000 undocumented people live in the state, with half from Mexico and nearly 40% having citizen kids under 18. ICE arrests have surged, causing families to skip workdays. They face financial struggles, earning minimum wage yet battling rising costs. Kids suffer academically due to parental stress. Helpers like Tierra Nueva ministry and Skagit Legal Aid offer support. Some consider self-deportation, but red tape hinders progress.
