Joan Esposito is joined by Fred Tsao, policy director at Illinois Coalition for Immigrant and Refugee Rights.

Tsao discussed a September 12 incident, reported in Block Club Chicago, where a federal immigration officer fatally shot a man, Silverio Villegas-Gonzalez, in Franklin Park, Illinois. Tsao highlighted the importance of knowing one's rights, including the right to remain silent and the right to legal representation. He also mentioned ongoing efforts to hold ICE accountable and the need for legislative action to ensure transparency and protection for immigrants.
