The National Network for Immigrant and Refugee Rights is issugin a report on DHS and its effect on immigrants and refugees:
Human Rights & Human Security At Risk demonstrates that since immigration enforcement and services were placed within the new Department of Homeland Security just six months ago, abusive and discriminatory immigration enforcement has become even more entrenched, seriously jeopardizing community safety and compromising access to services. Immigration policies and practices that have been prone to abuse and human rights violations may now be even more difficult to reform or to establish government accountability within a structure that cements immigration policies to a war against terrorism. Immigrant communities, families and neighborhoods will likely find little or no relief from the mounting discrimination and abuse as a result of these profound changes, as DHS consolidates the management and jurisdiction of immigration matters.
Some people are feeling the failure of the American system sooner than others.
