"It's all hands on deck right now," said Luz Gallegos, executive director of the TODEC Legal Center. "We have to prepare for the worst." This reflects the urgency and fear among immigrant communities following Trump’s win, indicating a significant shift in attitudes towards legal residency and citizenship as they brace for possible mass deportations.
Tom Homan stated Monday that the Trump administration will prioritize deporting individuals living illegally who pose a threat to public safety and will increase workplace raids. His message was clear: "If sanctuary cities don't want to help us, then get out of the way, because we're coming." This presents a direct challenge to local policies aimed at protecting immigrant communities.
California leaders and immigrant rights organizations are vowing to take legal action against Trump policies. Gov. Gavin Newsom has called a special session to safeguard the state's progressive immigration policies, showing a strong opposition from state officials to federal deportation strategies.
Immigrant rights advocates are urging the Biden administration to enhance protections for immigrants in anticipation of Trump's policies. This push underscores the precarious situation that immigrants face and the need for heightened measures to prevent the impact of upcoming deportation initiatives.
