We're back with Season 2 of Don’t Quote Me, and there's no better way to launch than by sitting down once again with our longtime friend and collaborator, Jose Jimenez.
In Season 1, Jose helped us pilot this series by sounding the alarm on the subtle — and not-so-subtle — threats facing immigrant communities in Michigan and across the country. Now, in September 2025, we revisit those concerns with fresh urgency.
Jose reflects on the past year, the prescience of his award-winning short film Citizen, and how much the political and cultural landscape has shifted since our first conversation. From ICE’s continued targeting of Latinos to law enforcement’s troubling local partnerships, Jose doesn’t hold back.
This episode is a powerful reminder of why art, truth-telling, and fearless conversation matter now more than ever.
