Public Sentiment Shifts at the Reality of Trump's Unhinged Deportations
This week, Chuck Rocha joins Mike Madrid from sunny Palm Springs to tackle the biggest stories shaking American politics—and the Latino community—in real time. From the recent visit of El Salvador's president to the White House and the implications of unhinged deportations to the Trump administration’s move to label international gangs as terrorist organizations, and what that means for due process and TPS holders just trying to build a life here. Chuck shares a deeply personal story about his business partner's struggles with TPS, while Mike lays out the constitutional crisis unfolding in real time.
They also break down rising grassroots energy, the shifting tide of public opinion, and what recent fundraising numbers from AOC and Bernie tell us about the electorate’s mood. Plus, a preview of the high-stakes Arizona special election in the 7th Congressional District, the drama with Myra Flores and district-shopping in Texas, and the launch of the new Campeones PAC!

Latinos have been a decisive force in elections and will make up 20% of voters by 2030. However, Republicans continue to make gains while working against them, and without action, key battleground states could shift even further. CAMPEONES PAC is committed to changing this by expanding outreach, re-engaging voters, and making early, long-term investments.
