97.9 The Hill’s Aaron Keck speaks with community advocate Erik Valera, Carrboro Town Council member Eliazar Posada-Orozco, Orange County School Board member Wendy Padilla, and Holly Fraccaro of the Home Builders Association of Orange, Durham, and Chatham Counties.
Last month brought an intense round of federal immigration enforcement to the Triangle, resulting in some arrests and detentions but also causing widespread disruptions – and local officials and advocates say the disruptions go far beyond that one operation, affecting all of us (yes, even you) in significant and long-term ways. What have those effects been – and how should we be reacting as a community? Fraccaro, Padilla, Posada-Orozco, and Valera discuss the impacts on children and families, public safety, schools, and the local economy.
The 2025 “Forum On The Hill” is presented by the Town of Chapel Hill, UNC Health, Wegmans, Coleman Merritt Murphy & Rainsford P.C., and The Law Office of Chris Barnes.
