Policy analysts comment on news developments that may impact immigrant communities during 2023, including the situation of Dreamers and asylum seekers, whose fate is being decided by the courts, the efforts in Congress to legalize farmworkers through the Farm Worker Modernization Act or the Affordable and Secure Food Act and also bills to help deported veterans, the push for Universal Representation, and the plans to increase naturalizations. In other news: Facing a lawsuit for illegally transferring immigrants from the local jail to ICE, the Sacramento Sheriff has agreed to change their policies to comply with two pro-immigrant state laws: the California “sanctuary” law, and the Truth Act. A civil rights advocate explains the agreement.
