Episode 8: Immigration Then & Now Featuring Prof. Jody Agius Vallejo (Part 1)

For this episode, I sat down with Jody Agius Vallejo, Professor of Sociology and American Studies and Ethnicity and Associate Director of the USC Equity Research Institute. In Part 1 of our conversation, we talk about the climate of hostility and fear in Southern California created by widespread ICE raids, and we give context to the current moment by examining the history of immigration to places like Fullerton.

Here are some references provided by Prof. Vallejo:
