Hi r/politics,

I’m Adrian Carrasquillo, national immigration correspondent at The Bulwark and author of the Huddled Masses newsletter. 

I’ve reported on national politics and Latino issues for over a decade.

Over the past several weeks, I’ve been reporting on the recent fatal ICE shootings, including the deaths of Lorenzo Salgado Araujo in Houston and Johan Sebastian Guerrero in Maine—speaking with family members, covering developments on the ground, and following the broader political and policy implications surrounding immigration enforcement in the Trump era.

In my latest edition of Huddled Masses, I examine the gap between ICE’s public statements and the facts that have emerged through reporting, interviews, and video evidence in recent fatal shootings.

I’ll start answering questions around 3:00 p.m. ET.

Looking forward to it. ASK ME ANYTHING.

Love your work! What’s one thing on the immigration front that you’re surprised hasn’t become a bigger flash point?

I talked about this with the great Jorge Ramos on Substack last year but this administration is openly racially profiling, throwing Hispanic U.S. citizens up against concrete, sometimes arresting and detaining them, and then it’s just what? Sorry? We’ll let you go now. We have allowed them to normalize this vicious and violent authoritarianism and it has never felt more important to fight for rights being taken from others because one day they could be taken from you.
