In this episode of Flor Unmuted, immigration attorney Oliver Ma joins Flor to break down the hidden costs of immigrant detention and how ICE continues to drain local communities like Kern County of already scarce public resources.
From taxpayer funding of private detention centers to the role of internalized racism in sustaining immigrant criminalization, this conversation goes beyond headlines and into the systems that quietly shape fear and compliance.
Flor and Oliver also dig into the CA-22 Congressional race, what’s at stake in 2024, and how federal immigration enforcement continues to impact the Central Valley.
This episode is for first- and second-generation Americans, immigrant families, and anyone questioning where our money—and our silence—is really going.
In this episode of Flor Unmuted, immigration attorney Inderraj Singh joins the mic to break down what’s really happening with recent ICE raids in Kern County—and why the silence from local officials should alarm all of us.

Whether you're directly impacted or standing in solidarity, this episode gives you the context, tools, and next steps to hold local power accountable.
