Donald Trump, in his second presidency, has intensified his anti-immigration stance, promising mass deportations and increasing arrests. This has created anxiety among undocumented workers, particularly in the construction industry, where many fear ICE raids disrupting their employment. A single parent in Texas shared her plight, detailing her daily struggle between working and the fear of not returning to her children. The rise in deportation threats and tightened policies have led to fewer job opportunities, prompting a sense of terror within the immigrant community. The situation is exacerbated by new executive orders aimed at military involvement and detention increases.
Every day I wake up and walk out the door, I go with the hope of going to work, but with the fear of not being able to come back.
These next few years will be years of fear, years of silence... I believe the anti-immigrant pushes are racist.
I've heard from other immigrants, anyone being taken into custody by ICE, regardless of their situation, will be deported.
Since Trump took office for his second term, there had been fewer opportunities to work construction jobs given the increased fear of ICE raids.
