Hundreds of Workers Held in Immigration Raid
Great concern in the Latino community is caused by the repeated raids that ICE, the immigration enforcement branch, is conducting in different states. It seems that President Bush's government not only wants to leave a legacy of a senseless war, a devastated economy and a declining international role of the United States but also is willing to attack the core values of this country by separating families, generating internal terror and hurting means of employment of thousands of hard working immigrants. Read on this chilling article about late procedures in Laurel, Miss. where hundreds of families were left without their bread winners.

Census Bureau to Ramp up Partnerships with Ethnic Media
Khalil Abdullah, a Washington, D.C., based editor for NAM, reports on the message that Arnold Jackson, associate director for the Decennial Census, brought to a New America Media-sponsored meeting with ethnic media.

Hispanics and Health Care in the United States:
Access, Information and Knowledge
Staggering numbers show the poor healthcare situation of Latinos in the US in this report by Pew Hispanic Center's Senior Researcher Gretchen Livingston, Susan Minushkin, Deputy Director, and Pew Research Center's Senior Writer D'Vera Cohn.
