Racist Police in NYC
The police of New York has constantly been stopping people of black and Latino descent. More than 84 percent of the people stopped where of black and Latino background. Police stops these innocent people for no apparent reason and justify it with dumb excuses like the wrong clothing for the season.http://www.nytimes.com/2010/02/02/opinion/02herbert.html

Latinas and gangs in Chicago
April is a 13 year old Latina who is struggling to keep out of the gang life in her neighborhood. She is a former member of the female chapter of the gang Latin Kings. Her brother was assassinated and she swore to take revenge, that is why she joined Latin Kings. April's counselor, Araceli Hurtado has been her model and the reason why she got out of the gang. Leaving the gang was very difficult for April up to the point that she has attempted suicide. http://www.nytimes.com/2010/02/21/us/21cnclatina.html?scp=1&sq=latinos%20&st=cse

Indocumentados dudan del Censo (Undocumented people distrust the Census)
Chicago/EFE — La gran campaña que ha emprendido la oficina del Censo para convencer a la población inmigrante de participar en el recuento demográfico de 2010 no llega a convencer a quienes consideran que responder a los encuestadores puede complicar su situación en EE.UU.
A partir de marzo la oficina del Censo comenzará a repartir los formularios para que todas las personas, incluyendo inmigrantes indocumentados sean contados y ha enfatizado en numerosas ocasiones que la información que se recoja será confidencial.
(Translation) The great campaign that has undertaken the office of the Census to convince to the immigrant population of participate in the demographic recount of 2010 does not come convince to whom they consider that to respond the pollsters can complicate its situation in United States.
Starting March the office of the Census will begin to distribute the forms so that all the people, including immigrants lacking identity papers can be counted and has emphasized on numerous occasions that the information that be collected will be confidential.
