HE SAID, HE SAID, HE SAID, Separating Fact, Fear, & Freedom w/ Allen Orr, FRI. 2.22.26 7PM EST
Fact, fear, and freedom meet as He Said, He Said, He Said Live tackles immigration and deportation. One perspective isn’t enough.
Tune in Friday, October 16, 2026 @ 7pm EST/4pm PST/6pm CST for the next “He Said, He Said, He Said Live!” A Look at the World from A Seasoned Black Man’s Perspective…because one perspective isn’t enough!” for the rebroadcast of “Immigration, Deportation, and the Law: Separating Fact, Fear, and Freedom with Allen Orr.”
As Black History Month ends, He Said, He Said, He Said Live tackles one of the most urgent and divisive issues shaping America today: “Immigration, Deportation, and the Law: Separating Fact, Fear, and Freedom”
Across the country, communities are feeling the impact of aggressive immigration enforcement, expanded detention efforts, and controversial actions carried out by ICE. Families are being separated. Workers are being detained. Fear is spreading through marginalized communities — particularly communities of color.
But what is lawful? What is political? And what is happening beyond public understanding?
Joining us is nationally recognized immigration attorney Allen Orr Jr., founder of Orr Immigration Law Firm, P.C., former President of American Immigration Lawyers Association, and a leading voice in employer immigration compliance and federal immigration policy reform. From overseeing massive I-9 audits for Fortune 10 corporations to influencing Department of Labor policy and the PERM rule, Mr. Orr brings clarity, authority, and legal insight into a conversation too often driven by fear instead of facts.
This Friday, we examine: The legal limits of ICE enforcement. What rights individuals have. How deportation policies are impacting Black and Brown communities. What freedom and due process truly mean under U.S. law.
We close out Black History Month by confronting systems that continue to shape the lives of marginalized people in America.
This is not just a conversation. It’s clarity in a climate of confusion.
