The MeidasTouch Podcast · Anabel Mendoza on Chicagoans Fighting Back Against Trump · 29 Nov 2025 podcast

Yeah, thank you so much for having me.

I have worked for years in the immigrant rights movement, specifically with immigrant youth.

I am also the daughter and granddaughter of immigrants.

What we are seeing unfold in the streets of Chicago, a city that I love dearly, is extremely personal to me, as I know it is for so many of my neighbors.

Immigrants make not only Chicago strong, but our entire country.

And what we are seeing right now is absolutely atrocious.

We are seeing a total overreach by the Trump administration.

blatantly unlawful actions by ICE agents and CBP agents who are arresting people without warrants and without due process.

And we are seeing the terror.

I mean, you showed the videos.

These are individuals.

These are our neighbors.

These are restaurant workers, daycare workers.

who they are with impunity going after, detaining and throwing into detention camps like Broadview where the windows are boarded up, where there is zero oversight.

And it is enraging for me to see these videos because I know that it is our taxpayer dollars, billions of our taxpayer dollars that are going to fund ICE and CBP.

And they're not going to the things that our working communities actually need, funding healthcare, making our schools stronger,

This is taking an impact on all of us.

But as you said, Chicago is united.

And through all of this terror, I have seen deepened solidarity between neighbors looking after one another.

Absolutely.
