From the Sentencing Project (http://www.sentencingproject.org):
Black immigrants face a disproportionately high risk of deportation from the United States, according to Stateline. Though only nine percent of immigrants identify as black, one in five immigrants facing deportation for a criminal offense is black, according to a 2016 report by the Black Alliance for Just Immigration and New York University School of Law. This disparity is due in part to black immigrants facing more scrutiny than other migrant groups—such as by living in heavily policed neighborhoods.
