The immigration problem has long been presented as mainly targeting Central Americans but I came across this the other day and it's crazy. Have even seen some Black folks on various platforms saying it's not a "Black" problem to deal with...Do you think this will change how some view the immigration issue?
"From January to March this year, 29% of families detained at the Karnes County Residential Center were Haitian, according to tracking by RAICES. But as the COVID-19 pandemic progressed and some families were released by ICE, the share of Haitian families in detention increased to an alarming 44% of the total. In fact, the U.S. has consistently detained more Haitian families in 2020 than any other nationality."

Black Immigrant Lives are Under Attack
The U.S. immigration system is nasty, but the government makes it especially nasty if you’re Black.
