Brooklyn DA hosts “office hours” for immigrants to report crimes
The Brooklyn District Attorney teamed up with an immigrant advocacy group Monday night to host an event for immigrants to report crimes.
The event, cohosted by Safe Horizon’s Immigration Law Project, will be held every other Monday. The next “office hours,” as DA Eric Gonzalez is labeling the event, will be April 29 from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m.
One of the goals is to foster immigrants’ confidence in the DA’s Office. “They’ve been seeing a decline in people accessing their services,” said Evangeline Chan, executive director of Safe Horizon’s Immigration Law Project.
