There exists a deeply racist and anti-immigrant culture in immigration law enforcement agencies such as US Immigrations and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and US Border Patrol, Communications Director for the Black Alliance for Just Immigration Abe Paulos says
“The anti-immigrant movement has invigorated vocal opposition to fair and just immigration reform and to the gains of the Civil Rights Movement, such as affirmative action and voting rights. Black immigrants from Africa, the Caribbean and Latin America experience racial discrimination as they navigate US society and systems. They also face a more difficult immigration process and are racially profiled, leading to disproportionate rates of immigration detention and deportation,” the Black Alliance for Just Immigration website reads.
