  • Report finds ICE arrests disproportionately impact the Latino community

    Report finds ICE arrests disproportionately impact the Latino community
    Dec 21 2025
    On this edition of Tiempo, we discuss the findings of a new report on how arrests made by Immigration and Customs Enforcement may be disproportionately impacting the Latino community. A new report released by the New York Immigration Coalition finds that agents with ICE unfairly target Latinos. According to research from the coalition and the University of Colorado, nearly 3 in 4 people arrested by ICE agents are Latino. The report say approximately 70% of those arrested by ICE have no criminal conviction or previous record. The report also found that an increase in immigration enforcement makes it harder for businesses to hire workers and limits potential growth for those businesses. Joining us to discuss is Mario Bruzzone, vice president of policy at the New York Immigration Coalition. Also on our program, catching up with Queens Councilman Francisco Moya. The councilman joins us to discuss a new development that he pushed in Queens designed to bring affordable housing to the borough. Moya also gives us the latest updates on the new soccer stadium that will serve as the permanent home for the New York City Football Club (NYCFC). Naturally, we will ask him about the impact of the FIFA World Cup coming to our area next summer. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
