The Chino y Chicano podcast launched in 2022 with co-hosts Matt Chan, “The Chino,” and Enrique Cerna, “The Chicano.” Both spent their careers in television. Chan created the cable series "Hoarders," while Cerna worked as a Seattle broadcast journalist for 43 years. After Chan died on March 30, 2024, following a battle with kidney cancer, Cerna committed to continuing the podcast in his honor.
ICE arrests are surging across Washington, leaving immigrant families on edge and legal advocates scrambling to respond. Who is being targeted, and what does the crackdown mean for communities caught in the middle?
