The Immigrant Legal Resource Center released our latest survey and analysis of the disturbing trends in gang allegations against immigrant youth. Our new report, Deportation By Any Means Necessary: How Immigration Officials are Labeling Immigrant Youth as Gang Members reveals how immigration officials are accusing immigrant youth of gang involvement, putting young people at immediate risk of detention and deportation. This survey found the evidence immigration officials are employing of gang allegations in immigration proceedings is tenuous and lacks transparency. Our analysis sheds light on the often-specious evidence collected against immigrant youth, adding a disturbing new dynamic to the school-to-deportation pipeline.
In light of the Trump administration’s recent, cruel characterizations of immigrant youth as “animals”, it is essential we understand the methods by which officials gather evidence against immigrant youth in cases where gang allegations are in play. Read our new report to learn more, and please share with your networks.
