Grantees in the News: National Council of La Raza

Clarissa Martinez, immigration expert with National Council of La Raza (NCLR), was recently interviewed by Latino USA to discuss a new report criticizing a Homeland Security immigration enforcement program. The report found that the hotly contentious Immigration and Customs Enforcement's local enforcement program was disobeying its original agreements and lacking oversight of its officers.

NCLR, a think tank of applied research and policy analysis, is the largest national Hispanic civil rights and advocacy organization in America. Latino USA is an NPR distributed program that opens the doors of knowledge for Americans about Latinos, as well as educating Latinos about each other. You can hear it on your local National Public Radio station.

You can safely listen to the episode here.
