Trump toughens his immigration policy
In the midst of the current scenario in the United States, Donald Trump has intensified his discourse on migration, promising to toughen immigration policy and also to carry out one of the largest mass deportation campaigns in the country’s history. This stance generates great concern among immigrant communities and organizations fighting for human rights.
New promises of mass deportations
As reported by The Guardian in its live coverage on April 28, 2025, Donald Trump continues to reinforce his immigration stance as a central part of his election campaign. Among the proposed measures, the expanded use of state and local law enforcement to assist in the detention of undocumented immigrants stands out, in addition to his promise to intensify deportations and limit the actions of sanctuary cities.
These statements reinforce the climate of uncertainty for immigrant communities in the United States.
Impact on immigrant communities
Trump’s immigration rhetoric is already having an effect on many people’s lives. Fear of family separation, deportation and criminalization for simply helping others has created a climate of tension and distress.
Immigrant rights organizations warn about the psychological impact of these threats, especially on vulnerable children and families. Uncertainty can generate anxiety, depression and social withdrawal.
These measures, if implemented, could affect millions of people who live, work and build their lives in the United States without regular immigration status.
What to do in the face of this threat?
Given this scenario, it is essential to be informed and take preventive action. If you or a family member is in the immigration process or needs guidance, there are key resources to protect yourself legally and emotionally.
Recommended actions:
- Consult with an immigration attorney as soon as possible.
- Evaluate whether you can apply for some type of immigration relief, such as asylum, U visa, T visa, VAWA or cancellation of removal.
- Obtain a professional psychological evaluation, useful both as legal evidence and as a tool for emotional support.
- Be aware of legislative changes and act early.
