KJJP-FM 105.7 is currently operating at 15% of power, limiting its signal strength and range in the Amarillo-Canyon area. This due to complicated problems with its very old transmitter. Local engineers are continuing to work on the transmitter and are consulting with the manufacturer to diagnose and fix the problems. We apologize for this disruption and service as we work as quickly as possible to restore KJPFM to full power. In the mean time you can always stream either the HPPR Mix service or HPPR Connect service using the player above or the HPPR app.

In Texas, illegal immigrants prepare for the arrival of Trump administration

In Texas, undocumented workers have begun to prepare for the arrival of President Trump.

As Rolling Stone reports, the United States is currently home to 11 million undocumented immigrants. Most are now worried that their families will be torn apart by the severe anti-immigration efforts expected to be instituted by the Trump administration.

Now a growing group of immigrant activists in the Lone Star State are banding together to resist the Trump regime. They're putting together a plan to help kids in case parents are suddenly deported. They’re asking local officials to protect immigrants from U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement plans. And they’re organizing meetings directly in their communities, to build a network of support.

Trump’s cabinet selections suggest he plans to show very little mercy to illegal immigrants. For example the man tapped to lead the DHS, retired General John Kelly, is staunchly anti-immigrant.
