“‘Daily Memo’ has become the diary Los Angeles never asked for but which is now indispensable, documenting in real time one of the most terrifying chapters in the region’s history. Torres has been described by fans as the Edward R. Murrow and Walter Cronkite of L.A.’s deportation days”

That awkward moment when a leading proponent of the Gulf War moves significantly to the left of the Democratic Party on immigrant rights. Talk about political realignment...

Just finished watching this. I agree 100% with Chris Newman's kudos. I'm not one to watch things on YT, and had to to refresh YT to stop ads. I grew up in L.A., listened to the Dodgers, etc. etc. This interview was absolutely fascinating.
