Here are my thoughts ahead of the State of the Union.
In this moment when there's so much division, let's embrace hope and unity, and let's chart a path forward together. #SOTU

On the eve of President’s Day weekend and the likely shutdown of DHS, President Trump, de facto President Stephen Miller, and their allies in Congress are creating chaos, insecurity, and division due to their unrelenting mass deportation crusade all for the sake of political power.

WATCH: I joined Jorge Ramos on Así Veo Las Rosas to talk about this critical moment for our country.
Across backgrounds and political parties, Americans are sending a clear message: we must come together to reject this administration's abuse of power.

We’ll continue to deliver rigorous analysis, while also creating more space for guest voices and storytelling that cuts through fear and distortion.
I’m proud of this work and the team behind it, and hopeful that building a more honest narrative can help shift what can feel immovable right now.

For me, this is about creating space for thoughtful analysis, new ideas on reforms, and the human stories that too often go untold. Immigration touches almost every aspect of our lives – and it's time we acknowledge it and embrace it.

Welcome to ‘Charting a New Narrative on Immigration’: A New Era of Pro-Immigration Storytelling
Watch now | New year, new look, new narrative.
It’s become clear that this is a moment that calls for both urgency and intention on the narrative on immigration. Alongside explaining what’s happening, there’s also a need to step back and tell a fuller story.
That’s why we’re relaunching our Substack as Charting a New Narrative on Immigration.

Quote graphic with the image of Vanessa Cárdenas and a picture of Bad Bunny.
"And like many immigrants, who are contributing to culture and music, [Bad Bunny] is an innovator.
The performance is only being viewed as controversial because we have a president in the White House intent on dividing Americans. They have made it OK for people to racially profile people of color, and they have made it okay to express really anti-immigrant views."
Vanessa Cárdenas,
Executive Director of America’s Voice
“And like many immigrants who are contributing to culture and music, [Bad Bunny] is an innovator,” said @vcardenas.bsky.social.
This backlash exists because political leaders have made it acceptable to target people of color and immigrants.

Americans are hungry for an alternative to Trump’s anti-immigrant agenda

Vanessa Cárdenas: A New Vision for Immigration and Our Country
Americans are hungry for an alternative to Trump’s anti-immigrant agenda
Americans are hungry for a new vision on immigration one rooted in compassion and common-sense solutions.
That’s the work ahead in 2026: first and foremost putting an end NOW to the cruelty and the abuse of power and fighting for an alternative that reflects our values and our interests.

Unchecked, brutal enforcement and division has made us poorer, weaker, and less safe. Immigration has become the tip of the spear for a broader assault on our collective constitutional norms and civil liberties.

Vanessa Cárdenas: A New Vision for Immigration and Our Country
Americans are hungry for an alternative to Trump’s anti-immigrant agenda
In a new piece for @couriernewsroom.bsky.social, I reflect on recent events and a dangerous moment for America’s core values.
From the murders in MN and elsewhere, kids used as bait, to U.S. citizens and lawful residents caught in dragnets, the costs of mass deportation are no longer theoretical.
