Ep.441 Jesse Singh

Home is no longer a safe space for thousands of families who live with someone who's undocumented. Caught between housing assistance and ICE surveillance, many are forced to be silent—or self-evict. Shelterforce's Shelby R. King reports.

HUD’s Cooperation with ICE Stokes Fear in Immigrant Communities

The house near the green mountain 

In the green mountain, where the mist does rise A house stood tall, with colors in surprise A farm without fences, with fields of hue A short mountain peak, with mist and snow anew

Oh, the house near the green mountain, a place so serene But I, a stranger, didn't know what to glean 
I was sent here, with instructions unclear
But I wandered through, with a heart full of fear

 I entered the house, empty and still A crowd of refugees, with stories to fill Their restlessness, a sight to behold As they searched for a reason, to unfold

Oh, the house near the green mountain, a place so serene But I, a stranger, didn't know what to glean I was sent here, with instructions unclear But I wandered through, with a heart full of fear

I met some kind souls, with stories to share I asked them their names, with a hesitant air 
But some left early, with a hasty goodbye 
And I thought about saying, "I'm here to help, I'll try"
but something stuck on my throat, stopping me from playing a hero 
I won't be honest with myself, how I will be with theirs
My heart was stopping me, he beat me 

The glassy walls, reflected the misty view The short fields stretching, to the mountains anew 
The mountain stood tall, with a river's gentle flow A stunning sight, in this place to know

Oh, the house near the green mountain, a place so serene 
But as a citizen, a stranger, didn't know what to glean 
They sent me here, with instructions unclear 
But I wandered through, with a heart full of fear


I think that's where I stopped, with a heart full of cheer 
But helping someone, is a dream I'll hold dear 
Sponsoring someone, a woman, with a challenge so grand 
But for now, I'll leave, this house and its land

why? we could start, a new page a new home, a new world.

I dont have the courage to look at your eyes and your smile that filled with hope and bright sun
I am sorry dear... but my life here was never easy and filled with tears 
I choose to leave you now, hoping you will find a better person 
with a better fate, better than mine, a one still unwritten
not almost written like mine, please forgive me.
I lost my way and I hope when you are a strong
you come find me, I will be waiting for you

I will leave now this house and its land

Episode 179: Cedric Muhikira Presents IBAAX

It’s getting tougher for immigrant communities to believe they still have rights as renters—even if they are living in the country legally. Here’s how tenant organizers are helping these communities push back against ICE and the landlords who are weaponizing the current political environment. Frances Nguyen, Shelterforce's housing fellow, reports.

For Immigrant Households, Fear of Arrest and Deportation Erodes Tenants Rights

This week, host Josh Shurley speaks with Gloria Meneses-Sandoval of Witness at the Border about the Blue Triangle Solidarity campaign—reclaiming a symbol once used to target migrants and turning it into a badge of support. They unpack how intensified immigration enforcement, ICE raids, and recent Supreme Court actions are eroding due process and equal protection, with ripple effects from big cities to farmworker communities in the Central Valley. Gloria traces the movement’s roots in “the subversive act of seeing” at detention camps and makes the case that when rights are denied to immigrants, everyone’s freedoms are at risk. The episode closes with concrete ways listeners can “witness,” stand in solidarity, and turn outrage into action.

The lead in to "Endure the night" (https://soundcloud.com/stefanlanfer/endure-the-night) - the angel's warning to flee the wrath of a vengeful king. "Joy will come one morning light," he sings, "but weeping will endure the night."

From "Don't blink" (https://soundcloud.com/stefanlanfer/sets/dontblink), the modern folk singer-songwriter musical retelling of the first Christmas story from the perspective of the minor characters and minor moments that are full of fresh insights into a tale many of us thought we knew inside and out.

Narrator: 

After the shepherds and wise men were gone, when the first family were alone again, an angel appeared to Joseph in a dream. King Herod had learned the Magi were not returning as they had promised and he was incensed. He gave orders to kill every baby boy up to two years old in Bethlehem and its vicinity. 

“Get up,” said the angel to Joseph, “take the child and and go. Escape to Egypt. And stay there until I tell you. For Herod is already searching for the child to kill him.”

So Joseph got up, took the child and his mother during the night, and they left for Egypt, where they stayed for years and years, until the Angel returned with news that Herod had died. The cloud of his vengeance had passed and the weeping of parents who would not be comforted - had long since subsided.

And that is why the baby king, who is called the Son of God, would spend his first years as a refugee and an immigrant.
