How kitchen raids in Buffalo sent shock waves through immigrant rights community

A story on NPR about a raid by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement on a Buffalo-area taqueria and Mexican grocery store and three other restaurants operated under the same owner, one of the nation’s biggest immigration worksite actions in recent years, interviews Nicole Hallett, assistant clinical professor of law and director of UB’s Community Justice Clinic. "If one of your goals is to protect workers from exploitation, obviously arresting those workers as part of an enforcement action makes workers very afraid to come forward and report if there is exploitation happening," she said. The story aired on NPR affiliates around the country, including WBUR-FM in Boston, KYPR-FM in Baltimore, KTEP-FM in El Paso and WBFO-FM.
