Many of the people being deported will be parents of children who are U.S. citizens, born into the rights and protections of this country. Child welfare and immigration re- form advocates fear that the surge in depor- tation will prompt a spike in foster care admissions for children in this circum- stance. “It’s a kid’s worst nightmare to have their parents disappear,” said Wendy Cer- vantes, director of First Focus’ Center for the Children of Immigrants. “You know how we create those plans for ‘Okay if there’s a fire we’re going to meet outside at this spot?’ [Kids] always said: ‘Those plans are so much easier, because we know that we’re going to be with our parents once we’re outside. And now we’re planning for our parents not being here.’ … It’s really scary. It was just eye-opening to me that it’s scarier than having your house burn down.” Wariness and uncertainty has prompted some organizations to plan ahead in an ef- fort to help families that might be torn apart by deportation.
