Thank you to @spj_tweets for recognizing our newsroom's efforts to help Latino immigrants navigate the pandemic. We're nominated for two 2021 @deadlineclub awards! Congrats to the team: @KevinTDugan @nicorios @RebekahFWard @Jose_Pagliery @AlissaEscarce and @LatinoUSA!

1/ We teamed up with @univisionNY to correct misinformation spreading through immigrant communities. In Spanish, we fact checked claims of miracle cures and untrue promises of pandemic aid coming from big companies and government. https://documentedny.com/2020/04/15/the-cure-for-covid-19-is-a-hair-found-in-a-bible-and-other-misinformation-fact-checked/

The Fake News Spreading in The Latinx Community During Coronavirus

These are the fake news that are spreading in the Latino community

2/ We worked with our readers to investigate the underutilized Immigrant Emergency Relief Program, which promised $1,000 per family. We discovered that the NYC fund was improperly regulated and closed to many undocumented residents. https://documentedny.com/2020/06/24/city-funding-for-undocumented-immigrants-is-shrouded-in-secrecy/

Where Is the OSF Money For Undocumented Immigrants in NYC?

Still no official information on how to apply, who qualifies or which organizations are giving out funds

3/ We uncovered how hard-working immigrants who lost their jobs due to the pandemic were being harassed or forced out of their rental homes — even though the state had a moratorium on evictions. https://documentedny.com/2020/11/09/landlords-are-threatening-renters-despite-the-eviction-moratorium/

6/ Our year-long investigation into Trump's impact on NY's immigration courts is nominated for Best Radio/Audio Investigative Reporting.

Thanks to collaborators @NPR/ @LatinoUSA for sharing what we learned from one family's reunification nightmare. https://twitter.com/deadlineclub/status/1380157612801544199?s=20

7/ We supervised over 200 immigration court hearings and faced ample pushback from ICE attorneys. Our journalists documented how NY immigration courts were failing and were further hobbled by Trump policies.
