A Message From AM Jessica González-Rojas - The Immigrant’s Journal

October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month. Disturbingly, domestic violence remains a pervasive issue in New York, including here in Queens. The most recent police data on domestic violence show that over 8,000 Queens residents reported incidents of domestic violence in 2021, and these data only capture cases reported to police. It’s imperative that we address root causes to prevent domestic violence and provide resources and support to those who do experience it.

Breast Cancer in Latina and Hispanic Women - The Immigrant’s Journal

Breast cancer is the second most common type of cancer in women after skin cancer. But it doesn’t affect all women in the same way. This includes people within the various Latina and Hispanic communities. For instance, breast cancer affects women who are of Mexican descent in different numbers than women who are of Brazilian descent. But all Latina and Hispanic women have one thing in common: not enough access to screenings and treatment.

New Report Makes Clear: As Detention Capacity Increases, So Do ICE Arrests - The Immigrant’s Journal

Washington, DC — A new report from Detention Watch Network, the Immigrant Legal Resource Center, and Ceres Policy Research outlines the direct link between Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) arrests and the availability and capacity of immigration detention centers. The report – If You Build It, ICE Will Fill It – demonstrates that immigrants in counties with more detention space and counties with an overall higher carceral capacity are significantly more likely to be arrested and detained by ICE.

The Condition of the Refugee Resettlement Program in 2023 - The Immigrant’s Journal

The Biden administration announced on September 27 that the cap on refugee admissions for Fiscal Year (FY) 2023 would be 125,000—the same as the cap for FY 2022.

However, given the current state of the U.S. refugee admissions program, the administration will probably not come close to admitting that many refugees.

Legal Service Providers Sue to Remove Barriers to Access to Counsel in Immigration Detention - The Immigrant’s Journal

Legal service organizations have sued U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) for preventing people jailed at four immigration detention centers from having meaningful access to their lawyers. The barriers to attorney access at these facilities illustrate ICE’s failure to protect the fundamental rights of detained immigrants nationwide.
