Plus how you can help the children who were affected by the ICE raid.
Once in a while, a human rights violation so egregious occurs that the world can’t bear to look away. Many outlets have released images of The U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement Mississippi raid on August 7 in six small cities in the state. Too often, Mississippi, the state in which I live, commits or permits violent acts to occur against people of color and those who have been historically oppressed.
Life in Mississippi is difficult for people of color. The state’s Black residents often have legitimate complaints about how the state’s history of racism continues to impact their lives. Meanwhile, injustices that plague immigrants continue on because we lack the numbers that would compel anyone to care about our needs.
Undocumented immigrants living in the state have it far worse. Relegated to underground economies– they are underserved when it comes to legal needs. Life can be especially trying for people who haven’t yet mastered English. Qualified translators are nearly impossible to find, and the majority of hospitals only employ interpreters on an on-call basis. These jobs don’t attract people who are bilingual because they don’t provide enough hours to provide a steady living wage.
