¿QPM? 11: A proposed Immigration Detention Center in Latino Indiana

An Immigration Center proposed to be built in Elkhart, Indiana, a city big on agriculture, mainly built on manufacturing and close to big areas with large Latino populations, represented a clear threat to Latinos in the area. Many protests halted the proposed center from coming along but people are still nervous about the possible outcome.

¿Qué Pasa, Midwest? contributor Barbara Anguiano talks to a Latino who was in favor of the center, a young daughter of immigrants who returned to Elkhart to help Latinos and a lawyer who understands the economic impact this can have on the immigrant labor force.
