New York City has launched the first-ever Community Interpreter Bank and the Protect NYC Families initiative to support Caribbean and other immigrants amid the implementation of President Donald Trump's deportation agenda.
The New York Council, New York Immigration Coalition, and community partners have launched the initiative, with the NYIC indicating that they will recruit, train, and dispatch interpreters to City-funded legal service providers, community navigation sites, and City Council offices.
NYIC said interpreters fluent in the most commonly requested languages will help ensure every immigrant in the city can access services and information in their preferred language.
