The Nubian Minute crew is back again to discuss the controversy surrounding Coca-Cola’s alleged reporting of immigrant workers to ICE, highlighting the lack of a public apology and the potential trend of corporations exploiting undocumented workers. The conversation shifts to the Trump administration’s use of Guantanamo Bay to detain undocumented immigrants, criticizing it as akin to a concentration camp. The panel also addresses housing issues at NC State, noting the difficulty in securing housing and the lack of parking, particularly for students who can’t afford off-campus housing. Finally, they review the album “Above” by Mad Season, praising its emotional depth and recommending it to listeners.
