Migrant families and immigration advocacy groups are preparing for potential mass deportations under President-elect Donald Trump. Up to 4 million mixed-status families could be impacted, with children potentially being separated from their parents. Families are making emergency plans, such as obtaining passports for children and power of attorney documents. Advocacy groups are creating emergency packets with essential documents to prepare for potential deportations. As Trump has promised the largest mass deportation effort in American history, concerns about family separation and deportation are rising. States like Arizona are passing laws to address illegal border crossings and enforce stricter immigration policies. This has led to fear and uncertainty in communities and among law enforcement officials, who are concerned about the impact of these laws. In states like Colorado, where migrants have been bused in by Texas, community members are seeking legal assistance and preparing for potential separations. Children are also expressing fears and concerns about deportation. The uncertainty surrounding the mass deportation plans is causing anxiety and prompting families and advocacy groups to take proactive measures to protect themselves and their loved ones.
