In this episode of Who Belongs? we hear from Jacinta González, an organizer with Mijente, a non-profit which leads campaigns to educate and organize around issues concerning immigration, detentions and deportations. Jacinta explains how ICE and other law enforcement agencies are using surveillance technologies to target immigrant communities and other communities of color, and gives us her take on what the new administration in Washington must do about it. This interview was conducted by Emnet Almedom, a policy analyst here at OBI.

I think we've really realized that this is an issue that's going to require all hands on deck. This is why we build movements where folks can have different ways of participating, different ways of contributing because unfortunately there isn't one silver bullet that's going to be able to take it all down. We actually all have to do our part in terms of how we change this conversation and try to push back against surveillance and push back against the expansion of policing into the digital realm.
