Border Report – Border Report Live: Groups address effective ways to help those affected by ICE raids

EL PASO, Texas (Border Report) — Community and faith-based organizations are lending their support to immigrants who might be facing deportation.

This week, the nonprofit Vote Common Good unveiled an online toolkit for churches to learn how to provide, among other things, sanctuary to some of their congregants during immigration raids.

Also this week, an immigrant advocacy group called Union del Barrio held an educational campaign outside a San Diego High School to instruct teachers and parents how to intervene and interact with federal immigration agents near schools.

Border Report correspondents Salvador Rivera and Sandra Sanchez spoke with members of both groups. In this episode of Border Report Live, the discussion focuses on how these groups are educating people and urging others to document Immigration and Customs Enforcement activity, as well as to simply be willing to bear witness to those encounters.
