BALTIMORE - Irma Delrosaria, 68, was amazed and grateful that her friends were able to get vaccinated in a few minutes at their church in a Baltimore neighborhood hit hard by COVID-19, where many residents are Latin American immigrants living here illegally.
“I had to go all the way downtown and wait two hours in the cold. It was an ordeal,” said Delrosaria, a legal immigrant who moved from Guatemala three years ago. On a recent day, she waited outside as friends were getting their shots at the Sacred Heart of Jesus Parish. They said they were happy to be vaccinated in a convenient spot - especially among people they trust.

The New Jersey Legislature on Thursday began considering whether to bar counties and private companies from entering into new contracts to house undocumented immigrants detained by federal officials.
Advocates of a ban say that not only do these detentions rip families apart, but also, the conditions in some of the facilities are deplorable and inhumane. Further, the availability of beds in these facilities encourages U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officials to be more aggressive in picking up and holding people for no reason other than they lack the legal status to be in the country.
