Summary
The reelection of Donald Trump and his promise of mass deportations has reignited fears for mixed-status immigrant families.
Angel Reyes Rivas, a DACA recipient from Long Island, recalls the emotional toll of his mother’s deportation and is now preparing his family for similar risks.
Carolina Saavedra, a U.S.-born daughter of undocumented immigrants, shares how her parents raised her with contingency plans for potential separation.
Families like hers express frustration at the lack of a path to citizenship despite decades of contributing to U.S. society, relying instead on community support for resilience.
When was this because white America had ZERO issue with the man keeping down everyone who wasn’t a WASP.
Agreed, but an awful lot of white males that in the past might have been pro union (that didn’t vote in their oppressors) are now full on MAGA while the GOP robs them blind.
