We’re joined by Texas State Representative Gene Wu, Minority Leader and Chair of the Democratic Caucus. In his thirteenth year in the House, Wu is sounding the alarm on Texas Senate Bill 17, a new law he says revives “anti‑alien land” restrictions from a century ago.

In this urgent conversation, Wu explains why SB 17 terrifies immigrant communities, why silence is dangerous, and what must be done to fight back.
