In Burlington, Vermont, at least three prominent immigrant rights activists have been arrested in recent days. All three-Cesar Alex Carrillo, Enrique Balcazar and Zully Palacios-are leaders or members of the group Migrant Justice. Balcazar, who is known as Kike, serves on Vermont Attorney General T.J. Donovan's immigration task force, which was created to respond to the Trump administration's immigration policies. For more, we speak with Will Lambek, organizer with Migrant Justice.
