‘We’re afraid’: mixed-status families fear what’s to come under the new Trump Administration

Donald Trump has pledged to pursue the “largest deportation effort in American history." Now, mixed-status families are bracing themselves. Erika Andiola and Viviana Andazola Marquez are just two examples of those whose stories illustrate what happens when mixed-status families get caught in the crosshairs of America’s broken immigration system. Andazola Marquez, whose father was deported in 2017 after 27 years says, “the Trump administration wants to pursue immigration policy by fear…in practice the only thing he does is terrorize a lot of hard-working families like mine.”
Andiola says that her mother will be fighting deportation under Trump. “Deporting a 66-year-old great-grandmother…How is that going to make anybody safer?”
