We were the first Black family to join Temple Emanu-El, a synagogue in Providence, Rhode Island. My bat mitzvah was probably the first time I experienced that being Black and Jewish in America was a rarity. As I got older and left the nest of my family and synagogue in Rhode Island, I moved to New York.

A leaked video obtained by Insider shows guards violently tackling a Black asylum seeker at a Louisiana detention center. Detainees and immigration lawyers say there is a disturbing and overlooked problem of anti-Black racism in immigration detention. In January, Representative Cori Bush (D-MO) and Senator Cory Booker (D-NJ) called for a "holistic review of the disparate treatment of Black migrants." Across the state, eight new immigration detention centers have been opened in the past three years – all privately run. In just Texas and Louisiana, 11 separate facilities in recent years have shifted from prisons or jails to immigration detention centers.
