The Fight Against the ‘Sheriff Joe’ of Massachusetts

My thoughts: Ivan Espinoza-Madrigal is fighting the good fight, and his work should receive the coverage and praise it deserves.  As the episode showcases, authoritarians despise being challenged and will retaliate if they can.  It takes courage and tenacity to hold them accountable and Espinoza-Madrigal is doing just that.

Their description: "Bristol County Sheriff Thomas Hodgson —a frequent Fox News guest and Trump favorite who some call the Sheriff Joe Arpaio of Massachusetts— is facing a lawsuit from Boston’s Lawyers for Civil Rights (LCR) regarding immigration detention during the COVID-19 crisis. For this episode of Latino Rebels Radio, host Julio Ricardo Varela talks to LCR Executive Director Iván Espinoza-Madrigal about the lawsuit and what comes next."
