The Trump administration's hardline immigration policies have sparked protests across the country

and have had a profound impact on many Latino communities. We're going to hear now from two pastors

on the front lines offering support and helping families navigate the fear and practical challenges

that come with immigration enforcement. First, we're joined by the Reverend Carlos Malave,

president of the Latino Christian National Network,

representing evangelical and mainline leaders across the country.

Thanks for being here. We appreciate it.

My pleasure. Thank you for the opportunity.

So what concerns you the most about the way the ICE deportation raids are being carried out?

I would say that we, as a nation, and especially the Latino Committee in the U.S.,

is at across roads at this moment.

Our people are systematically being repressed.

And the level of fear that our community is experiencing is at levels that we have never experienced

as a community in this country.

At least we never expected that we will be here in this moment.

But the suffering of our people is real. and we didn't have to come to this

point. So we are accompanying our people as spiritual leaders in this cross-road moment in our nation.

When you say this isn't something that you ever expected. Donald Trump ran on greater border enforcement,

mass deportations. Those were the two biggest pledges he made as a candidate. In fact, at the

Republican National Convention, there was a sea of people holding signs that said mass

deportation now. I mean, doesn't his aggressive immigration approach align with what the public was told to expect in the event that he won?

In a sense, that's true, but there are nuances to that.
