The 22-year-old, a graduate student in biomedical engineering who lives in Phoenix, Arizona, is haunted by the incoming president's promises of mass deportations.
"I was terrified," said Palazuelos, reflecting on the moment he heard the news.
"I am in fear of being deported, of losing everything that I've worked so hard for, and, most importantly, being separated from my family."
Born in Mexico, he has lived in the United States since he was four years old. He is one of the country's so-called "Dreamers," a term for migrants who were brought into the country as children and never obtained US citizenship.
"What do mass deportations mean? Who does that include?" Palazuelos asked.
"Does it include people like me, Dreamers, people that came here from a very young age, that had no say?"

(5 posts)3. Latinos overall voted in favor of Harris by a margin of 6% over Trump
https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/2024-elections/exit-polls
In ()'s is the margin by which the group voted for Harris over Trump in 2024:
Latino overall (+6%). by 52% to 46%.
In the 2020 election it was 36% Biden over Trump
Back to 2024:
Latino men (-12%), by 43% to 55%
Latino women (+22%), by 60% to 38%
While I'm at it, for comparison, the white (& non-Latino) demographic
White overall: (-16%)
White men: (-23%)
White women: (-8%)
And,
Black overall: (+72%)
Black men: (+56%)
Black women: (+84%)

You've got a little over two months before Trump's inauguration. Use that time wisely.
