Immigrant members of CASA protest ICE raids.

This week, hundreds of residents, advocates, and community members held a rally and marched in Highlandtown in support of Baltimore's immigrant community. The march, organized by the immigrant advocacy group CASA, was planned in response to reports of increased immigration enforcement.

WYPR Reporter Emily Hofstaedter joins the show to share her reporting from the protest and rally.
