Dear Naclistas,
For immigrant communities across the United States and beyond, the last few weeks have been unimaginably cruel. Over the last few weeks, Donald Trump has emboldened his rampage against immigrants, people of color, and the 99%. After pardoning Sherriff Joe Arpaio for his discrimination against Latinx immigrants and contempt of court, Attorney General Jeff Sessions announced the rescinding of Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA), within six months barring Congressional action. Meanwhile, as thousands fled the wreckage following Hurricane Harvey, the administration continued its immigration enforcement efforts as usual, deterring some from seeking shelter from the storm. As Hurricane Irma flattens islands in the Caribbean and an earthquake shakes southern Mexico, it's an indescribably difficult time for Latin America and the Latinx community. NACLA is covering these events, and reiterate our support to those affected, en solidaridad, para siempre.
La lucha sigue!

President Trump’s pardoning of Joe Arpaio is despicable. But many politicians who have denounced it have also supported anti-immigrant policies and helped fuel the violent drug war in Mexico.
