Appearing in American Banker on June 12, 2026, Ebrima Santos Sanneh talks to NCLC Senior Attorney Carla Sanchez-Adams about an advisory that could discourage banks from serving immigrant communities and small businesses operating in industries identified as higher risk by regulators.

“The Trump Administration is trying to use the banking system to throttle employment opportunities for immigrant workers and curtail wealth building for people of all different immigration statuses,” Sanchez-Adams said. “The advisory specifically targets small businesses in agriculture, construction, domestic service, hospitality, home health, and other industries where Black and Brown people lead in job creation and small-business growth.”
