Carla Wallace, the co-coordinator of the support group Louisville Showing Up for Racial Justice, said the organization had 200 trained volunteers who could alert others if they see signs of federal raids and could help provide services to people who are afraid they will be apprehended on the streets. The volunteers have escorted a group of Latino children on an outing to the zoo and have delivered groceries to families who are afraid to go food shopping.
“The fear is huge,” she said.
