Undocumented Immigrants In US "Terrified", "Frustrated" As Trump Returns

Since learning that Donald Trump will return to the White House, undocumented immigrant Angel Palazuelos has struggled to sleep.

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?"

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.
