The 2024 general election had many voters on edge, especially for those worried about the direction of immigration in this country. What may be next for the controversial issue under a second Trump presidency has drawn vocal opposition from local advocates like Marcela Díaz, who is the executive director of Somos Un Pueblo Unido, a statewide immigrant rights group.  

Díaz joins “Conversations Different” to discuss what her organization is doing to prepare for potential immigration policies that President-elect Donald Trump has openly embraced, such as mass deportations of undocumented immigrants. Díaz also discusses the impact that immigrants have on New Mexico’s economy while emphasizing the need to build community coalitions again and educate people of their rights.
