ICFRC: Raiding the Heartland - An American Story of Deportation and Resistance
Author Bill Lopez and Alejandra Escobar discuss Mr. Lopez's new book, "Raiding the Heartland: An American Story of Deportation and Resistance."
Across the United States, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) upends small towns and rural communities by staging dramatic raids and rounding up hundreds of people in a single day. These worksite raids fracture families, devastate local economies, and spread fear and trauma that lingers for years. Yet in the wake of these devastating raids, immigrant communities exhibit resistance, resilience, creativity, and an extraordinary determination to rebuild.
This program is part of the Iowa City Foreign Relations Council Spring 2026 series, Resisting Global Tyranny. This event is presented in partnership with the Iowa City Public Library and Prairie Lights Books.
