On today’s Your Call Media Roundtable, we’ll discuss “After the Raid,” an investigation by award-winning journalist and guest Jack Herrera, about one of the largest workplace ICE raids in US history, which upended the Panhandle town of Cactus, Texas.
ICE agents raided Swift meat company plants in six states on Dec. 12, 2006, arresting nearly 1,300 workers. In the tiny town of Cactus, 297 workers were arrested— about 10 percent of the town’s population.
Then later in the show, we’ll discuss the latest from the Trump administration, from the confirmation of Robert Kennedy, Jr. as Secretary of Health and Human Services, to the proposed closure of the Consumer Finance Protection Bureau, to announced mass firings of government workers.
Joining us will be Chris Lehmann, DC Bureau chief for The Nation and author of The Money Cult: Capitalism, Christianity, and the Unmaking of the American Dream.
