Aissa Cabrales

Undergraduate Student (Psychology/Spanish). Aissa Cabrales is a third-year undergraduate student at U-M, studying Psychology and Spanish with a minor in Anthropology. Growing up in a mixed-status family and community in Illinois, she saw the lack of bilingual resources necessary to address the mental health concerns of the Latinx population. Her research with the ICE in the Heartland team has focused on the six major worksite raids within the Midwest and documenting how community advocates responded to these raids. In addition to that, she created the Spanish archive on the different types of media about the raids that occurred throughout the Midwest.
