Law Enforcement & Immigrants

New York, NY —

Since September 11th, many immigrants to New York and New Jersey are living in fear of law enforcement - especially those from South Asia and the Middle East. Some don't have current immigration papers, and worry contact with an official will result in their detention and deportation. Community leaders are concerned some are even hesitating to call 911 in an emergency. WNYC's Marianne McCune has part two of a series on local immigrants and law enforcement.
