In a new series, Minnesota Now is airing the voices of people who have been hiding in their homes due to fear of arrest, detention or deportation during Minnesota’s federal ICE surge. We asked them to send us voice memos for three days in a row, describing how they are spending their days.
P is an immigrant from Mexico. MPR News is not using his full name for his safety. He and his wife have barely left their home for weeks. Since the announcement of federal agents leaving Minnesota, P said he and his wife feel slightly calmer, but they are still in hiding until they see evidence of that for themselves.
This series will continue on Minnesota Now this week. Listen at noon to hear more voices or check back on our show page.
