Deportation Program and Effect on Latino Immigrants

A report by two law schools, released on Wednesday, has found that the immigration program, Secure Communities, has led to a broad and disproportionate impact on the removal of Latino immigrants and has also led to the arrests of hundreds of United States Citizens. About a third of around 226,000 immigrants who have been deported under the program have also had spouses or children who were United States citizens, displaying a" broad impact from those removals on Americans in Latino communities." See recent article in the NY Times.
