Trump's Policy Shifts Ground Immigrant Workers

About this episode

The episode discusses the impact of Trump's policy shifts on immigrant workers, highlighting the struggles faced by individuals like Maribel Urbina who lost their work permits.

Maribel Urbina, a dedicated school bus driver for 21 years, lost her work permit, leaving her jobless and struggling to pay bills. This is part of a larger trend under the Trump administration, which has shortened work permit lengths and tightened rules, affecting thousands of immigrants. The changes have led to massive backlogs, leaving families in limbo and forcing them to rely on emergency food and rent aid. Nonprofits have shifted from job training to providing such assistance, while employers have ditched temp workers to avoid enforcement. Courts are battling these changes, but many, like Urbina, face ongoing uncertainty, leading to job gaps and self-protection mode. These shifts are turning stable lives upside down, forcing hardworking individuals to fight just to survive in their communities.
