ICE has a big impact on the Hispanic community and making them fear going out to work, go to the grocery store and even afraid of calling the police if they see any crime. "16% of foreign-born Latinos have avoided calling the police or reporting a crime for fear of being questioned about their legal status. Another 15% of foreign-born Latinos have avoided public places like parks or recreation areas, and 14% reported that they have avoided speaking Spanish in public. This survey also found that 10% of foreign-born Latinos are avoiding work situations where they might be asked about their citizenship status" (Brookings.edu, R.Sanchez. Gabriel, Edward D.Vargas, 2025) . These statistics aren't surprising especially with how ICE profiles them  "we asked respondents directly what a white border patrol agent whom they might encounter would assume their race to be, based on their skin color, hairstyle, or facial features." Gabriel R. Sanchez and Edward D.Vargas stated. This proves why many are affected and afraid stepping outside to do their day to day basis things, and has become a fear to many Hispanic/Latino adults but has also become a fear for many kids including those in elementary.

In investigating the claim that "ICE has a big impact on the Hispanic community and making them fear going out to work, go to the grocery store and even afraid of calling the police if they see any crime" I found that the source cited by the author (Brookings) is legitimate, because not only Brookings is a non-profit organization, whose mission is to conduct in-depth, nonpartisan research to improve policy and governance, but also has personal events, books, podcasts; which gives this source plenty of credibility.

Moreover, the first source given by the claim includes a link of the law enforcement from the Supreme Court, and this link ends with ".gov" which gives credibility that is just not a fake link.

Furthermore, having search this information it other sources, enhances its credibility. One of this sources being NPR, a non-profit public radio network. This news article talks about how the law enforcement changes in different agencies across the country. Some police men are more interested in the crime involving ICE, rather than sweeping.

In conclusion, this fact is true, and there are no biases in a law enforcement.
