Could immigration enforcement lead to an eviction crisis?
Category: News & Politics
Duration: 00:45:30
Publish Date: 2026-02-04 20:32:00
Description:

Federal immigration enforcement is fueling a growing rent crisis. Many immigrant workers — even those with legal authorization — fear leaving home due to increased enforcement, while others are losing income as workplaces cut hours or shut down. Without paychecks, rent and other bills go unpaid.


Advocates report a surge in calls to tenant hotlines and emergency assistance programs, particularly in immigrant communities, and some leaders are calling for a temporary ban on evicting tenants.


MPR News host Angela Davis discusses how immigration enforcement is upending people’s livelihoods and how communities are responding.
