Don't Let Bush Roll Back Family Leave Send or Print this page Background: H.R. 2671, the Clear Law Enforcement for Criminal Alien Removal (CLEAR) Act November 21, 2003 On July 9, 2003, Representatives Charlie Norwood (R-Ga.), Melissa Hart (R-Pa.) and Allen Boyd (D-Fla.) introduced H.R. 2671, the Clear Law Enforcement for Criminal Alien Removal Act of 2003. The bill, which has 111 co-sponsors in the House of Representatives, would require state and local police agencies to take on the role of immigration agents, enforcing complex federal immigration laws. Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-Ala.), is expected to introduce the Senate counterpart in the near future. Advocates for immigrant survivors of domestic violence, sexual assault, trafficking and other crimes committed against immigrant victims in the U.S. have come out in opposition to the bill. More than 100 organizations, including the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence, have informed Congress that the CLEAR Act would endanger already vulnerable immigrant populations, particularly immigrant victims of domestic violence, rape and sexual assault, and their children. Such an act would raise fears of deportation for many women, and as a result, would create a situation in which immigrant women would face greater barriers in reporting domestic violence. Immigrant women who are victims of violence are particularly vulnerable, as are their children. Congress should be searching for ways to help immigrant women and their children rather than stripping them of protections they need.

Journal Articles Each year, an estimated 3 to 10 million children witness assaults against a parent by an intimate partner.(Straus, 1992) Domestic violence does not discriminate across lines of race, culture, nationality or gender. It occurs at the same rate in both homosexual and heterosexual relationships (Mills et al., 2000). The experience of family violence can be among the most disturbing for children because both victims and aggressors are the adults who care for them and who are most closely attached to them. For many of these children, violence interrupts their experience of consistent safety and care, and creates an environment of uncertainty and helplessness. Children who are exposed to domestic violence, especially repeated incidents of violence, are at risk for many difficulties, both immediately and in the future. These include problems with sleeping, eating and other basic bodily functions; depression, aggressiveness, anxiety and other problems in regulating emotions; difficulties with family and peer relationships; and problems with attention, concentration and school performance. In order to minimize the risk of long-term damage, child witnesses to domestic violence need the safety and security of their environment to be restored. Children exposed to domestic violence also need support from the adults around them, most importantly their own parents or other primary caregivers.

51. Domestic Violence Q & A's 1) When does law enforcement have to provide a victim of domestic violence with This question has been raised repeatedly by domestic violence prevention http://www.gulpny.org/Domestic Violence/Training Materials/domestic_violence_qa.

by Jenn DeCarli 1) When does law enforcement have to provide a victim of domestic violence with a copy of the Domestic Incident Report? Many victim advocates report that law enforcement either does not fill out this report or does not provide a copy of the report to the victim. As the reports can provide a victim with important evidence of abuse in future court proceedings, it is essential that victims receive a copy of the report. rd Department case, Michael J. Groves v. State University of New York at Albany Some law enforcement may not be providing a copy of the report to the victim at the scene because they do not believe the law requires them to prepare the report immediately at the scene. As such, advocates should be diligent about following up with law enforcement in order to obtain a copy of this important report. 2) What is the effect of the recent Court of Appeals decision (People v.
