The People’s Hearing on Immigration Enforcement in New York is a community-led forum documenting the real-world impact of federal immigration enforcement. Hosted with a coalition of national and local advocacy groups, the event will feature testimonies from over 25 impacted individuals, business owners, and local leaders. Moderated by civil rights leaders Rochelle Garza (USCCR Chair), Frankie Miranda (Hispanic Federation President), and Marty Castro (former USCCR Chair), this event builds on a national series of hearings to ensure affected New Yorkers are directly heard and documented.
