Paola Echave; Dulce Gonzalez

To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study to assess how Latinx-white racial disparities in COVID-19 mortality at the county level are associated with immigration enforcement. Our findings provide some support for how medium-to-high exposure to immigration enforcement may be having harmful effects on Latinx people's health at the county level.
