Immigrant Community

Time to Prepare for the Worst

 

President-elect Trump started conducting the biggest deportation program in American history on the first day of his new term.

The Trump administration will scrap a policy that has prevented ICE agents from arresting undocumented people at sensitive locations, including churches, schools, and hospitals. When the policy is lifted, the deportation process could move quickly.

 

In the 1990's, I would get calls for help from employers, from families, from churches, and from all the people associated with the detained individuals... it was just non-stop. Once again, everyone is now so concerned!

 

Under the Trump administration, the police and USICE might be going to churches, schools, places of work, and actually apprehend entire families. President Trump says he'll target violent, undocumented criminals first, and then move forward on other groups of immigrants; the deported, the undocumented, the DACA and TPS people, etc.
