Warning: This episode contains strong language. In the midterm elections, one of the regions expected to swing away from President Trump and toward Democrats is the Rio Grande Valley of Texas, where life has been transformed by his administration’s crackdown on immigration.

  • In tomorrow's election, few regions of the country are expected to swing harder

  • away from President Trump and toward Democrats than the Rio Grande Valley of Texas,

  • where life has been transformed by the president's crackdown on immigration.

  • For the past year, my colleague, Daily producer Lindsay Garrison,

  • has been reporting on that shift and the unlikely group leading the charge.

  • It's Monday, November 2nd.

  • When the raids first started in the Rio Grande Valley in early 2025, people were confused.

  • Sure, some people with criminal records were getting picked up, but so were people who weren't criminals.

  • People who had lived along this stretch of land near the Mexican border for years.

  • So people were scared.
