Ep 14- Shut Up and Sing? Minnesota Musician Confronts Immigration Crackdown

From Prince to The Replacements, Minneapolis music has always reflected the moment.

One musician stepping into the moment is Tony Ortiz, best known for a one-hit wonder in the 80’s. His new song, “Americans,” calls for unity and acceptance of diversity. Yet despite being a U.S. citizen, Ortiz now carries his passport, just in case he’s stopped by immigration agents.
