Immigrant families are spending the holidays having difficult conversations in anticipation of President-elect Donald Trump’s plan to carry out what he has called “the largest deportation program in American history” once he's sworn in next month. NBC News spoke with nearly half-dozen immigrants' rights advocates across four different states and they all said they have received an increased number of calls from immigrants asking about their rights. They have also heard questions from community groups, schools and churches about what their roles are in the face of such possibilities. Mendoza said the hotline will provide support to immigrants and anyone affected by immigration enforcement actions in the coming year. That, alongside "massive public pressure," would be key to ensuring that immigration enforcement tactics that "go against American values" don't become the new normal, Patiño said.

"It is time to chart a principled path for the role an emerging Latino majority plays in our community." “The City of Los Angeles is overdue for institutional reform, especially reform that depoliticizes the redistricting process,” they said.
