The missing - aftermath of Trump's crackdown

In a rural county that voted for Trump, people are shocked to see friends and schoolmates deported.

Some Trump voters in Pacific County, Washington -- and a lot of places across the US -- didn’t quite realize what they were getting in to when they voted for a guy who openly humiliated, profiled, and castigated a lot of people in his presidential campaign. In this video people wake up to the fact that  undocumented immigrants are neighbors, schoolmates, community members... and to the unnerving things that are happening to their communities, their economies, and their sense of justice.

For all the kids who grew up under grey skies in little logging towns in Western Washington... maybe you made it up and down i-5 traveling between Olympia and Portland, maybe not.

Remember this? (It’s still there, of course).
