Undocumented African immigrants in the United States are disproportionately caught in the deportation dragnet because of the same racial bias that has led to the warehousing of African-American, according to a new report.
African migrants tend to build their communities near long-established African-American neighborhoods. That makes them targets for racial profiling by over-zealous cops who disproportionately arrest Black people for minor offenses or unconstitutionally stop them for searches, Popula found.
