Legislative policies that criminalize immigrants have a "chilling effect" on public program participation among eligible immigrants. However, little is known about the effect of local enforcement actions by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). In this study, we linked county-level data on the number of detainer requests (or immigration holds) issued by ICE to individual-level data from the 2011, 2016, and 2019 American Community Surveys. We fit adjusted logistic regression models to assess the association between detainer requests and enrollment in Medicaid and the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) among those likely eligible for each program in US-born versus immigrant households. A higher volume of detainer requests was associated with lower enrollment in both Medicaid and SNAP, particularly among adults in households with at least one immigrant relative to US-born households. We observed the most pronounced effects in 2011 and 2019.
将移民定罪的立法政策对符合条件的移民参与公共计划产生了“寒蝉效应”。然而，对于移民和海关执法局（ICE）的地方执法行动的影响知之甚少。在这项研究中，我们将 ICE 发布的拘留令请求（或移民拘留）数量的县级数据与 2011 年、2016 年和 2019 年美国社区调查的个人层面数据相关联。我们拟合了调整后的逻辑回归模型，以评估拘留令请求与医疗补助和补充营养援助计划（SNAP）之间的关联，这些计划在美国出生的家庭和移民家庭中都有资格参加。拘留令请求数量的增加与医疗补助和 SNAP 的参与率降低有关，尤其是在至少有一名移民亲属的家庭中的成年人中，与美国出生的家庭相比。我们在 2011 年和 2019 年观察到了最明显的影响。
