Black Agenda Radio · Los Angeles Protests, Immigration, and Black Politics

Thandisizwe Chimurenga is a Los Angeles-based journalist and host of RootWork, which can also be seen on Black Liberation Media’s YouTube channel. She joins us to discuss the recent protests in Los Angeles that began after increased Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) actions and arrests in that city. Donald Trump sent the National Guard and Marines in response to those protests. Thandisizwe Chimurenga will also provide analysis of the Black community’s reaction to these events.
