Sennett Devermont, an activist and social media influencer, is leveraging his large Instagram following (nearly 420,000) to inform Southern California communities about immigration raids and law enforcement actions. Through his platform, mrcheckpoint, Devermont emphasizes accountability and transparency within the criminal justice system. His vetting process for sharing videos of raids involves verifying information directly from the community. This grassroots approach has led to critical alerts for families, allowing them to reconnect with loved ones impacted by immigration enforcement actions.
