IN AGREEMENT — According to a new poll conducted by Civiqs for The Immigration Hub, a vast majority of Americans (85%) agree the U.S. should engage other countries to address the root causes of migration, reports Rafael Bernal of The Hill. The poll found that 86% of Democrats, 87% of Republicans and 81% of independents approve of such an approach. As for the border, the poll found "more support for a high-tech approach to border security than for beefing up traditional enforcement and building a wall, but with substantial differences in support depending on partisanship and from region to region." 

GENERATIONAL DIVIDE — Protests in Minneapolis following the murder of George Floyd revealed a generational divide in immigrant communities across the Twin Cities, Stephen Groves and Mohamed Ibrahim write in the Associated Press. Jaylani Hussein, executive director of the Minnesota chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations explained that many older immigrants "grew up in countries where speaking out against the government resulted in punishment, and some are so focused on making a living after escaping war-torn countries that they do not have time or energy for anything besides their families’ immediate well-being." In contrast, "[y]ounger Black immigrants who were born in America or came at a young age often know firsthand both their parents’ struggles and America’s history of racial injustice." Said 21-year-old Fatumata Kromah, who experienced racism after moving to Minnesota from Liberia: "[T]his was not the American dream I was promised." 

DEPORTATION CASE — In a 6-3 decision Thursday authored by Justice Neil Gorsuch, the U.S. Supreme Court "sided with a Guatemalan national who sought to take advantage of a 2018 Supreme Court ruling that made it harder to carry out deportations in certain circumstances," Kimberly Strawbridge Robinson reports for Bloomberg Law. The case involved the process for notifying immigrants of their deportation hearings: Government officials must now provide a single "notice to appear" form for immigrants facing a deportation hearing, instead of multiple forms that make requirements unclear. The relief "is intended for longtime immigrants whose deportation would cause harm to U.S. citizens."
