As we move into the new year, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security announced plans to deport thousands of Central American families who were not granted asylum, back to the violence from which they fled. That story and other immigration news are listed here.

  • From Arizona Public Media (12/29/15), more information about the deportation of Central American families, which began this month, with comments from KBI director of education and advocacy Joanna Williams: https://www.azpm.org/p/crawler-stories/2015/12/29/79094-central-american-immigrant-deportations-planned/.
  • From The New York Times (1/4/16), the latest news about the immigration crackdown: http://www.nytimes.com/2016/01/05/us/arrests-begin-for-migrants-who-lost-asylum-cases.html?emc=edit_th_20160105&nl=todaysheadlines&nlid=68564230.
  • From The Washington Post, two articles: (1) about sanctuary offered by religious groups to the immigrants affected by the recently announced raids, (1/6/16), https://www.washingtonpost.com/local/social-issues/religious-groups-offer-sanctuary-to-immigrants-targeted-in-ice-raids/2016/01/06/183e5dd6-b416-11e5-a76a-0b5145e8679a_story.html; and (2) about the impact of the raids on immigrant families and communities, (1/8/16), https://www.washingtonpost.com/local/social-issues/pre-dawn-raids-leave-us-immigrant-communities-paralyzed-with-fear/2016/01/08/5bdf664c-b412-11e5-a76a-0b5145e8679a_story.html.
