# Event Details

- **Event Name**: Raiding the Heartland: An American Story of Deportation and Resistance
- **Event Start and End Date**: Fri, 06 Feb, 2026 at 06:00 pm
- **Event Description**: Across the United States, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) upends small towns and rural communities by staging dramatic raids and rounding up hundreds of people in a single day. These worksite raids fracture families, devastate local economies, and spread fear and trauma that lingers for years. Yet in the wake of these devastating raids, immigrant communities exhibit resistance, resilience, creativity, and an extraordinary determination to rebuild. To discuss this urgent topic, Bill Lopez will be in conversation with Alejandra Escobar about his new book, Raiding the Heartland: An American Story of Deportation and Resistance.
