Quiénes Somos

The New York County District Attorney's Office has the responsibility and authority to investigate and prosecute crimes in the borough of Manhattan. The Immigrant Affairs Program addresses the victimization of immigrants. 

Immigrants seeking residency or citizenship are often preyed upon by criminals who steal from them by employing a variety of fraud schemes. Unscrupulous attorneys, fake attorneys, or other individuals and agencies that offer assistance to immigrants may demand large sums of money for services they have no intention or ability to provide. 

Undocumented immigrants may also be targeted for criminal schemes and exploitation related to their employment, wages, and housing. 

The program is meant to aid and encourage both documented and undocumented immigrant victims and witnesses who may fear cooperating with law enforcement because of their immigration status to do so. 

Regardless of immigration status, a victim or witness of an immigration fraud, scam, or other crime can report that crime to the Immigrant Affairs Program.  When appropriate that complaint will be assigned to an Assistant District Attorney who will investigate the matter.
