Point of Entry: Stories from the Immigrant Experience

Point of Entry is a series exploring the lived realities and vital contributions of immigrant communities across Southeast Michigan — and the emerging challenges immigrants face amid shifting policies and heightened risks. The series highlights how our region is responding to these new pressures through personal stories and on-the-ground coverage, and invites readers to see how immigrant communities help strengthen and shape our regional fabric.

This series is a collaboration with New Michigan Media, a coalition of ethnic and minority outlets. Support for this series is provided by the Community Foundation for Southeast Michigan.
