As the federal government ramps up its immigration enforcement efforts, InvestigateWest wants to hear from you about how that’s impacting communities in the Pacific Northwest.
Whether you’re a worker impacted by changes to visa rules, know someone in detention or facing deportation, or have seen immigration enforcement impact your industry or workforce, we want to hear from you. We’d like to hear about your experiences with the immigration system and its ripple effects on families, communities and the economy.
Reporter Rachel Spacek, a Report for America corps member based in Boise, Idaho, covers migrant labor and equity, among other topics. Before joining InvestigateWest, she covered local government and Latino affairs at Idaho publications like the Idaho Statesman and Idaho Press.
