Almost 6 months after the ICE raid in Chattanooga, and many Hispanic families are still struggling.
The Hispanic Displacement Relief Coalition recently formed after the immigration raid on Pilgrim's Pride this past April.
Organizers want to shed light on the situation and how it's affecting the families who can't support themselves now.
At the public forum Thursday, expects talked about statistics and myths about immigrations, legality, and heard personal stories.
Stacy Johnson with La Paz de Dios says, "We just want to put a human face on the immigration issue, and the immigrants here. The people here are suffering and we're wanting to help. They're in need and we need to step up and help."
The forum was part of the Night of 1,000 Conversations, which works to hold the Department of Homeland Security responsible.
