Eps. 2 and 3 of Solo Eramos Ninos: Step into the shoes of the children, employees, teachers and after-school program directors who recall the events of Dec. 12, 2006, and the impact it had on them, their friends, families, and the community. To further understand the trauma of that day, hosts Shelby and Angel Lopez discuss issues of trauma specific to migration, intergenerational and historical trauma, and culturally relevant healing principles for Latine people.

Tonight on the show, we binge episodes 2 and 3 of the podcast Solo Éramos Niños, a podcast that explores the impact of the 2006 Swift & Co ICE Raids, including one in Utah. 

  • Episode 2, The Valley: Podcasters Angel and Shelby Lopez center the story on the sleepy Cache Valley community, as it was shaken to its core on December 12, 2006, when Immigration  & Customs Enforcement agents arrested and deported 145 immigrants who had been working at the Swift & Co. Meat packaging facility in Hyrum, Utah. Step into the shoes of the children, employees, teachers and after-school program directors who recall the events of that day and the impact it had on them, their friends, families and the community.

  • Episode 3, The Impact Pt. 1: How do you measure the impact of immigration enforcement and family separation? First, we must understand what it means to be impacted. In part one, hosts Shelby and Angel Lopez explore trauma, what it is and how it can shape the way people see themselves and the world around them. Trauma within the Latine and immigrant community carries even more nuance. To further understand these layers, the hosts discuss issues of trauma specific to migration, intergenerational and historical trauma, and culturally relevant healing principles for Latine people. Listen to stories of migration and subscribe to continue to explore the impact. For original show notes, click here.
