Summary

Raices, a nonprofit organization dedicated to protecting minors from deportation, has faced backlash after laying off approximately 100 employees in Texas. Former staff members claim that despite raising millions in funding, the organization abruptly cut support for vulnerable minors, leaving them without necessary resources. The layoffs have raised concerns about the organization's commitment to its mission and the impact on the community it serves. Critics argue that the decision to reduce staff contradicts the organization's stated goals and responsibilities. The layoffs occurred in early October 2023, highlighting a troubling trend in nonprofit funding and support for immigrant services.

Raices cut 100 jobs as of October 1, 2023.

That is roughly 50% of the 200 people Raices employs.
