New report says Latinos bear the brunt of immigration arrests in New York

WNYC News | Dec 13, 2025

According to a new report, Latinos account for nearly three-quarters of immigration enforcement arrests in New York, while making up just a quarter of the state's non-citizen population.

It comes from the New York Immigration Coalition, a nonprofit statewide advocacy group, and researchers at the University of Colorado Boulder. The report highlights what many critics have been saying about the disproportionate focus of ICE arrests nationwide.

WNYC's Arya Sundaram covers race and immigration and joins Weekend Edition host David Furst to discuss the findings.
