The first year of the Ohio Immigrant Hotline

Anticipating major changes in immigration policy during the second Trump administration, Ohio Immigrant Alliance launched the Ohio Immigrant Hotline in January 2025. We knew it was needed because of our experiences during the first Trump presidency, when helping each other deal with stressful immigration situations was vital. The Hotline is part of our “Build The Nest” strategy and the OhioIsHome.org resource website.
On March 25, OIA released a report about the Hotline’s first year of existence, using Hotline operations data, called “Connecting Ohio: The Ohio Immigrant Hotline’s First Year in Action.” Read about the report in the Columbus Dispatch (behind paywall).
