"We will hear firsthand about the concerns and hopes of Latinos affected by the administration's new policy on immigration, at a venue with enormous symbolic meaning," said Díaz-Balart. "We are living at a critical time that could redefine the role of the Hispanic community in our country, and it is important to fight fear and anxiety with reliable information such as the one Noticias Telemundo will offer at this town hall."
Following "Inmigración, Trump y los Hispanos" (Immigration, Trump and the Hispanic Community), the most watched program on Spanish-language television on the day of its broadcast, the town hall "Latinos Venciendo el Miedo" will be Noticias Telemundo sixth news special produced after the election of President Donald Trump under the banner "Telling It Like It Is" ("Las Cosas Como Son" in Spanish).
