Immigration policy: Donald Trump has promised a closed border and mass deportations. Those affected are taking action
CNNCNN — Immigrants, their employers and groups that work with them are already taking action ahead of President-elect Donald Trump’s second term, in which he has promised to deport millions of people. “That’s the network that will be mobilized when it comes to fighting any sort of more extreme measures such as deportation.” A day after the election, New York City officials said fear was premature when they addressed immigration and how they would work with the incoming Trump administration. Earlier this year, Desmond testified before Congress that federal policies had meant “our Border Patrol has been reduced to processing agents, standing by, watching people break our laws.” Kenia Zamarripa, of the San Diego Regional Chamber of Commerce, said many local businesses had ties across the border with companies, operations and workers and that an efficient and secure border should still facilitate trade and travel. We will continue to support local and state policies that protect immigrants and provide vital resources.” She added: “My message is simple: No matter where you were born, how you came to this country, Los Angeles will stand with you and this will not change.” The Los Angeles Unified School District — the second largest in the nation behind New York City — said it was bracing for a potential threat of legal action against students and their families that could lead to separation or deportation. “There’s fear and trepidation,” said Sister Isabel Turcios, director of the Frontera Digna shelter, where migrants were also using CBP ONE to get an appointment with an immigration officer.
