WHO'S AT RISK?

Under Trump’s proposed mass deportation plan, several groups would be at heightened risk of being targeted, questioned, and detained, including:

Undocumented Immigrants 

Those living in the U.S. without legal status, regardless of how long they’ve been in the country or whether they have families here.

Legal Immigrants with Past Offenses 

Green card holders and visa holders with any kind of criminal record, even minor offenses, could face increased scrutiny and potential deportation.

Asylum Seekers & Refugees 

Those with pending asylum claims or Temporary Protected Status (TPS) could be at risk if Trump ends protections for certain groups, as he has previously attempted.

Mixed-Status Families 

Households with both legal residents and undocumented individuals might face raids and detentions, potentially leading to family separations.

Latinos & Other Immigrant Communities 

Even U.S. citizens who "look" like immigrants, especially Latinos and other people of color, could face increased racial profiling, questioning, and harassment from law enforcement or immigration authorities.

DACA Recipients ("Dreamers") 

While mixed messages have been given on DACA, Trump has previously attempted to end protections for Dreamers, putting them at risk if no new safeguards are in place.

Workers in Certain Industries 

Sectors that rely heavily on immigrant labor, such as agriculture, construction, and service industries, may see more workplace raids and detentions.

Immigrants Using Public Benefits 

Trump has previously pushed policies restricting immigration benefits for those who use public assistance, meaning those perceived as relying on social services could face increased scrutiny.
