In Corona, a once-vibrant New York City enclave home to generations of Latino immigrants, the threat of mass deportations has made many residents afraid to go outside.

One Long Island health care institution that serves many immigrants, the public Nassau University Medical Center in East Meadow, said in an email that "there is no evidence of avoidance" by immigrants seeking care. Several other health care centers did not respond to queries or declined to comment.

What appeared to be a series of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) raids in the Los Angeles area had some local officials and immigrant-rights activists on edge Friday, again heightening fears of widespread raids anticipated under President Donald Trump’s hard-line stance on illegal immigration.
