Donald Trump will be the 47th President of the United States. He won the election on a campaign to crack down on migration. His running mate, JD Vance, has suggested the deportation operation could remove more than a million people a year. NYC has an estimated population of 560,000 undocumented migrants, and Philadelphia has an undocumented population of 170,000. Trump has also promised to end temporary protected status.<\/p>\n
How are undocumented migrants and the organizations and advocates that support them in NYC and Philadelphia preparing for the coming Trump presidency?<\/p>\n
How will immigration enforcement differ under Trump\u2019s second presidency from immigration enforcement under his first presidency?<\/p>\n
I plan to include scenes from the Welcoming Center and The Good Shepherd Church. I might also be able to go and visit New York again. I want to weave in perspectives from people who worked in organizations during the last Trump presidency and then get a sense of what could happen this time. I want to make sure I have a strong legal explanation for what the current situation is and what might change. I also want to include a sufficient account of the anxiety and stress that comes from just worrying about what might happen.<\/p>\n
I know I need a more specific angle, but I\u2019m not sure what that should be yet.<\/p>\n
Interviews that I have already done \/ people I have quotes from:<\/p>\n
Reverend Juan Carlos Ruiz<\/p>\n
Colombian couple who didn\u2019t give me their name at the Lutheran church<\/p>\n
Welcoming Center director of community (I lost their name but will find it again)<\/p>\n
Welcoming Center woman who is leaving (I lost their name but will find it again)<\/p>\n
