SEARAC and AAPI Data’s latest fact sheet, Southeast Asian American Deportations: Trends and Policy Implications, makes one thing clear: we must act now to keep our families together.
Southeast Asian American communities are being targeted at an alarming rate, with 42% of ALL Southeast Asian deportations since 1998 happening in just the last two fiscal years, including a more than 20x increase in deportations of our elders. People who have called the United States home for decades, many since childhood, are being sent to countries they no longer have connection to. We need policy solutions that ensure dignity for our communities and respect for human life.

SEARAC`s Rising Up report confirms what our communities have known all along: when Southeast Asian American students have access to culturally relevant curricula, heritage language learning, mental health supports, and educators who see them, they thrive.
Graduation and college enrollment are up for our communities, but federal cuts to education programs are threatening these gains. "Progress is possible because of community power," says SEARAC`s Quyên Đinh. Let`s keep building it!
