'This is the message they are receiving: either stay with your abuser or risk deportation,' said Archi Pyati, Chief of Policy for the Tahirih Justice Center.
Under the Trump administration's crackdown on immigration, immigrant survivors of domestic violence and sexual assault say they are too afraid to turn to police or go to court for help over fears they could be deported out of the country, a new report warns., more than 76 percent of advocates and attorneys reported that immigrant survivors of domestic violence and sexual assault had expressed concerns about contacting police for help.
The advocates and attorneys reported that survivors said they had an increased fear of deportation and being separated from their children, as well as potentially facing retaliation from their abusers. Among those policies, the center said, was a push for local law enforcement officers to become involved in federal immigration enforcement, as well as the legacy of the Trump administration's"zero tolerance" family separation policy, which saw hundreds of children separated from their families at the U.S.-Mexico border.
"This undermines victim safety as well as public safety and is contrary to our nation's commitment to affording protections for all survivors of domestic violence and sexual assault," Hidalgo said.
