Amid President Donald Trump’s massive deportation efforts, the Latin American Association (LAA) is working to help people who are living in Georgia without legal status.
Santiago Marquez, who serves as CEO of the association, was a guest on Wednesday’s edition of “Closer Look.” He told show host Rose Scott that there’s a lot of fear and confusion among the Latino community right now. He further talked about the importance of people knowing their rights and why he feels it’s important for individuals and mixed-status families to have a plan in place if they are, or their loved ones are deported.
Marquez talked about the wraparound services LAA is continuing to provide amid the current immigration climate in the U.S. and shared his thoughts about the need for immigration reform.
