  • Immigrant communities worry Donald Trump will make good on promises of mass deportations now that he has secured a second term in the White House.

The article from KVPR discusses the concerns and preparations of immigrant communities in the U.S. as Donald Trump's new term approaches. With Trump's previous administration known for its stringent immigration policies, including the "zero tolerance" policy leading to family separations at the border, there is heightened anxiety among immigrants. Advocates and community leaders are mobilizing to provide legal aid, mental health support, and information on rights and protections. Organizations like the National Immigration Law Center and local groups are preparing for potential policy changes that could affect DACA recipients, asylum seekers, and undocumented immigrants. The focus is on ensuring that immigrants know their rights, have access to legal resources, and are prepared for possible enforcement actions or changes in immigration law. The overarching theme is one of resilience and community support in the face of uncertainty.
