Migrants in the U.S. hope that the mass deportations promised by Trump will only affect criminals. However, many others are filled with fear and uncertainty about their future.
Trump promises aggressive deportations, starting with millions of people and the return of workplace raids. Experts warn that such measures could lead to mass arrests, even of those without criminal records.
Some migrants are hopeful that the economy under Trump’s leadership will improve, which could benefit them. At the same time, others fear losing their loved ones and being separated from their families due to potential deportations.
There are concerns that the new immigration measures could affect not only former criminals but all migrants, especially those with Mixed Status (different legal statuses within the family), adding instability to their lives.
