NEW YORK CITY (WABC) — On this edition of Tiempo, we discuss the latest on federal immigration crackdowns across the country and in New York City, including the recent detention of a NYC Council employee.
Newly-elected Mayor Zohran Mamdani says he will not work with federal immigration enforcement agents and will firmly uphold sanctuary city policies.
During a recent visit to New York, Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem highlighted the results of a series of high-profile ICE operations. Her visit was heavily overshadowed by the shooting in Minneapolis, where an ICE agent fatally shot a 37-year-old mother of three.
Immigration attorneys, advocacy groups and employers can anticipate greater scrutiny from the federal government regarding hiring practices, foreign-born workers, visa applications and more.
Joining us to discuss and provide some counsel on what to expect and how to prepare is immigration attorney Chris Cabanillas.
We also have details on a new college program designed to provide first-generation and low-income students with an affordable and debt-free education.
Small class sizes, dedicated academic advisors, counseling services and additional support like free meals and laptops are among resources being offered to students.
We’ll have more on the two-year associate degree program at the University of Mount Saint Vincent.
Tiempo airs Sunday mornings at 11:30 on Channel 7, WABC-TV in New York City.
