“On the streets of some Latino communities on Long Island yesterday, news of Suffolk County’s bill targeting undocumented workers set off a wave of wild rumors that federal immigration agents were about to crack down on illegal immigrants.

Many people were misinterpreting Spanish-language news reports about the bill, believing it signaled a start to a round of raids, said Sister Margaret Smyth, head of the Catholic Church’s Hispanic Apostolate on the North Fork.”*
