WHRO | By Barry Graham

Another View team joined by in-studio guests Newport News Sheriff Gabe Morgan and CEO of the Chamber for Hispanic Progress Patrica Bracknell

You've seen the news coverage in major cities like Los Angeles and Chicago- US Immigration and Customs Enforcement, or ICE- agents wearing masks, stopping and arresting people they believe are undocumented persons. It's causing major disruptions to the lives of people in immigrant communities who are afraid to go to work, school, or worship. And it's happening here in Virginia. On this edition of Another View, Patricia Bracknell, CEO of the Chamber for Hispanic Progress, Newport News Sheriff Gabriel Morgan, and Immigration Attorney Elizabeth Schmelzel discuss the impact of ICE in the Commonwealth and how the community is responding. This and all Another View programs can be heard on demand on the show's program page.

Barry Graham used to arrive at WHRO with a briefcase full of papers and lesson plans. For 32 years he taught US and Virginia Government in the Virginia Beach Public Schools. While teaching was always his first love, radio was a close second. While attending Old Dominion, Barry was program director at WODU, the college radio station. After graduating, he came to WHRO as an overnight announcer. Originally intending to stay on only while completing graduate school, he was soon hooked on Public Radio and today is the senior announcer on WHRV. In 2001, Barry earned his Ph.D in Urban Studies by writing a history of WHRO and analyzing its impact upon local education, policy and cultural arts organizations.
