The article from WFAA, published during the early weeks of Donald Trump's presidency, discusses the heightened anxiety and uncertainty felt by the immigrant community in Texas due to Trump's immigration policies. It highlights the fear and confusion among immigrants, particularly those from Mexico and other Latin American countries, following Trump's executive orders aimed at enhancing border security, building a wall along the U.S.-Mexico border, and restricting immigration from certain Muslim-majority countries.

The piece also notes the solidarity actions and legal challenges mounted by various groups in response to these policies, reflecting a community on edge, bracing for the impacts of the new administration's hardline stance on immigration.
