A Vermont-based group will receive $74,000 in a lawsuit against the Department of Homeland Security seeking information about whether advocates were being targeted by immigration agents because of their political activism.
settlement in October 2020 in which the federal government agreed not to deport three immigrant activists.The United States is often described as a nation of immigrants. But over time, immigration has become a nationwide topic of contention. So how exactly do immigrants, documented or not, impact our day to day lives? LX News Storyteller Jalyn Henderson took a look at the data and broke it all down.
In the original lawsuit, Migrant Justice, which works on behalf of immigrant farm workers in the state, used the Freedom of Information Act to seek information about whether some of the organization’s members were targeted because of their activism promoting issues important to the immigrants. “The ACLU and our allies will continue fighting for the rights of immigrants in Vermont, and that includes seeking greater transparency and accountability from law enforcement agencies,” Ernst said in a statement.
