Undocumented Immigrants Fearful of Trump's Return and Deportation Plans

Trump's re-election sparks anxiety among 'Dreamers' and undocumented immigrants amid promises of mass deportations.

  • Undocumented immigrants like Angel Palazuelos, a 22-year-old Dreamer in Arizona, express fear of deportation and family separation under Trump's presidency.
  • The Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program, which provided work permits and protections, is under threat as Trump plans to end it.
  • Arizona's recent law allowing state police to arrest undocumented immigrants raises concerns about increased racial profiling.
  • Jose Patino, a 35-year-old DACA recipient, contemplates moving to states like California or Colorado that might offer sanctuary protections.
  • The election has caused tension within Latino communities, with some legally residing individuals supporting Trump despite his anti-immigrant rhetoric.
