Jorge Ramos: Part journalist, part activist, and now full-on Trump combatant

Jorge Ramos would be the first to say it. In his role as the lead anchor of Univision's nightly Spanish-language newscast and a series of English-and Spanish-language news and public affairs programs for nearly three decades, he regards his role as one part traditional journalist. He's there to tell people what has happened, when it happened and what it means. But he would also say that, with the nation's Latino population growing rapidly, the number of Latino elected officials nowhere near keeping pace and the fate of some 11.3 million undocumented immigrants -- many of whom are Latino -- now the primary issue in the 2016 election, he and the rest of the news staff at Univision must also play another role: They must embrace the work of social justice. They must report accurately and fairly but never pretend that all information or points of view are equally valid. So, to say that Ramos -- one part journalist, one part activist -- understands a critical part of his job to include questioning Donald Trump and challenging Trump's ideas on immigration -- well, that would be an understatement.
