There have been many times in American history when celebrations of the country's multi-ethnic, ever-changing demography served as powerful counterweights to narrow, exclusionary, nationalisms. In 1855, for example, the publication of Brooklyn native Walt Whitman's offered a "passionate embrace of equality," writes Song of Myself Kathleen Kennedy Townsend, "the soul of democracy."

In Tioga County, where President Donald Trump won 75 percent of the vote in 2024, farmers are losing patience with the White House's promise of a quick solution for farm workers do. Their urgent need is highlighted by stories like those of a multigenerational dairy farm that sold off all its dairy cows because the owner could not find workers and another where a farmer's job listings have received no responses.

In an opening salvo ahead of the US president's state visit, Sadiq Khan said he wanted to challenge the idea that London was in turmoil and said that more Americans than ever were seeking to make it their home.

Figures from the Office for National Statistics (ONS) show that net migration has mainly hovered between 200,000 and 300,000 people a year since 2011. However, since Brexit came into effect on New Year's Eve 2020, there has been a large increase in the number of immigrants. Commentators and critics have called this the Boriswave, as it occurred following the new post-Brexit immigration system introduced by Boris Johnson.

The Trump administration is seeking sweeping changes to the rights of asylum seekers that experts say would "decimate" the global refugee system established after World War II, a new report finds. Reuters, citing internal documents from the State Department and an agency spokesperson, finds the administration is proposing a framework in which asylum seekers would be forced to apply for protection in the first country they enter, not a country of their choosing.

The Compatriots, out September 16 on VOD, is an affable comedy about a serious subject. Closeted high school student Javi (Rafael Silva) is feeling good after pitching a no-hitter, but when he kisses his teammate, Hunter (Denis Shepherd), at the afterparty, things get awkward between these best friends. Five years later, the guys reconnect when Javi has another uncomfortable issue-ICE has raided his workplace and Javi is hiding because he is undocumented.

For months, Ledy Ordoñez worried about what she would do if immigration officers arrived at her store in the heart of Oakland 's premier Latino neighborhood.

A core component of the Colossal-curated exhibition, No One Knows All It Takes, is community participation. Each of the artists- Bryana Bibbs, Raoul Deal, Maria Gaspar, and Swoon ( previously)-is deeply engaged with the people they portray and collaborate with, a commitment that inspires nuanced, insightful projects and a truly communal process. As part of the exhibition at the Haggerty Museum of Art, we've considered how to reflect this mode of working through programming and a participatory project.

Her instructors had warned her that if she wanted a real shot at making it as an actress in the US, she'd have to "fix" her accent. Paltrow's voice - crisp, polished, "full of money," as Gatsby says of Daisy's - became the model. "My teachers were like, Gwyneth Paltrow will be your way in," Novi recalls. When she came across the Goop tutorial, something clicked.

The South Korean foreign minister, Cho Hyun, is set to travel to the United States on Monday as the fallout continues from an immigration raid on a Hyundai plant in Georgia during which over 300 South Korean workers were detained.

"There are a lot of negative comments online," said Prahb Singh, a truck driver in Riverside, California, who isn't related to the driver. None of the people named in this story are in the same family; Singh is a common last name among Sikhs. "People are saying: 'Take the towel heads off the streets' and 'Make our roads safe by taking immigrants off the street,'" said Singh, a U.S. citizen who emigrated from India at age 8. "All of this before a judge gives a sentence. It was a mistake by a driver, not the whole community."

If you had told me as a teenager in Soviet Georgia that one day I'd be running an American public tech company - let alone something like Grindr - I couldn't have grasped it. The moment I stepped out of JFK airport, I felt something different - later I realized it was freedom. America gave me not just liberty, but the chance to unleash my potential, pursue my dreams, and come to terms with being gay.

As part of its aggressive immigration policy, the Trump administration has moved fast to increase the rate of arrests of undocumented immigration, and scale up detention space and deportations. But the rapid pace of arrests has contributed to the millions of cases backlogged at the Department of Justice's Executive Office for Immigration Review, which houses immigration courts. At the same time, in the last nine months, EOIR has lost over 100 judges to firings and voluntary resignations, down from about 700 judges at the start of the year.

working as the library manager at the International Center of Photography, overseeing projects for Dashwood, and producing zines through her publishing house, Matarile Ediciones. Spending her days poring over others' work, some titles have shaped her idea of what makes a photo book truly remarkable - from Carmen Winant's My Birth, with its tactile documentation of women in labour, to Nobuyoshi Araki's Winter Journey, which sequences his wife's final days in hospital and their honeymoon in a moving, elegiac rhythm.

My great-grandfather and I were both 24 when we arrived in America. He landed at Ellis Island in 1912 with nothing but a suitcase, his savings, and the belief that America would offer a better life. I touched down at JFK airport in 2022, ready for the adventure I'd waited most of my life for. We know little about my great-grandfather's time in America, but we know he brought his fortunes back to Ireland after 20 years doing industrial work in Philadelphia.
