Over the past decade, Rudy Bustamante spent a lot of time driving around Phoenix, meeting immigrants anywhere they felt comfortable—schools, churches, coffee shops. As a community relations officer for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, he’s had the difficult task of trying to build trust between immigrants and the federal agency in charge of deporting those who are here illegally.
Part of Bustamante’s job has been to persuade immigrants to help ICE find serious criminals while assuring them that they and their families won’t face deportation for traffic violations or other minor offenses. Building that trust hasn’t always been easy, as in 2010, when Arizona passed a law requiring immigrants to carry registration documents and giving police broad leeway to question people. “Rudy Bustamante met with all the different immigrant groups,” says Michael Nowakowski, a Phoenix city councilman. “That dialogue really helped during those crises moments.”
