Good morning, this is your Burlington Local Frequency for Wednesday, July 9, 2025.Kicking off today’s headlines, downtown Burlington was the scene of a passionate rally outside the federal courthouse on Monday, as community members gathered to support Heidi Perez, an 18-year-old migrant justice advocate facing detainment. Perez, who just graduated from Milton High School, and her stepfather, Nacho De La Cruz, both leaders in Vermont’s Migrant Justice group, were arrested last month while delivering food to others in the migrant worker community. Supporters argue the detention is unjust and are calling out what they see as heavy-handed Border Patrol tactics.
