Donald Trump has promised to deport a million people in his first year back in office.

As a result, immigration officers are conducting widespread raids across the country – often targeting and locking up American citizens.

The Trump administration says nearly 70 percent of the people Immigration and Customs Enforcement has arrested are criminals. But ICE’s own data shows the overwhelming majority have no criminal conviction at all.

Today, reporter at ProPublica Nicole Foy, on how Trump’s immigration crackdown is changing America – and how ordinary civilians are fighting back.

Catherine Liddle is the CEO of SNAICC, the national body that represents Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children and their families.

Every year, Catherine and her team document how First Nations children are faring, and how they’re treated. And yet again, the picture is devastating.

Catherine’s report shows that Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children are more likely to be reported to authorities, they’re more likely to be taken away from their families and they spend more time institutionalised.

For every dollar the government spends on this, only 16 cents goes to helping families – the rest is on taking children away, causing enormous harm.

Today, SNAICC CEO Catherine Liddle on the damage the child protection system is doing to First Nations children – and what needs to be done to break the cycle.
