Short Takeaways:Rep. Maxwell Frost warns Trump’s immigration crackdown is also targeting Black immigrants, especially Haitian and Afro-Latino communities.
Trump’s immigration crackdown is also targeting Black immigrants, especially Haitian and Afro-Latino communities.
For those who think the Trump administration’s immigration policies are only targeting Latino communities, Democratic U.S. Rep. Maxwell Frost would like to set you straight.
Maxwell said Friday that thousands of Black people, who like him are of Black and Latino descent, are experiencing fear as U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), and state and local law enforcement arrest people regardless of their legal immigration status.
Gassama said local and state agencies can participate in 287g agreements with ICE, allowing the federal agency to delegate certain tasks to state and local law enforcement officials such as executing warrants in their jails and identifying and beginning removal proceedings against individuals arrested by local law enforcement.
