Mass deportation is a key policy goal of Project 2025 with the potential to upend the lives of millions. Following this week’s launch of “Defendiendo Nuestro Futuro” (Defending Our Future), several Latino groups – including America’s Voice – are making a push to inform Latinos about the ramifications to their lives.
