Alabama Immigrants

U.S. District Judge Andrew Hanen has declared illegal a revised version of a federal policy that prevents the deportation of hundreds of thousands of immigrants brought to the U.S. as children. But the judge declined to order an immediate end to the program and the protections it offers to recipients. Alabama is among the States suing over the issue.

President Joe Biden signed a proclamation earlier this year designating June as Immigrant Heritage Month. Data from the Migrant Policy Institute says the number of foreign-born people living in Alabama has doubled over the last twenty years. These people have stories of what they left and what they’re experiencing here in the U.S.
