In response to Trump’s immigration policy, many immigrant families began to fear for the worst. Immigrant families such as my own began to make arrangements in case one or both of my parents were to be taken by ICE. My family even before Trump’s immigration policy feared of being deported, but now the immigration policy has made them fear even more. At first, they were scared of going outside or even ride the subway as a rumor spread that ICE was around the subway station. This doesn’t only happen to my family, but many others around in the United States. Now they can’t even ask for help or go to court without fearing for ICE agents. ICE agents are now taking drastic measures such as appearing in courthouses with or without their uniforms catching the person by surprise.

It’s very sad to think about all the people who have to constantly live if fear because of their immigration status. I wish America would live up to it’s title as “land of the free.” How can people be free if they don’t even get a chance to live in this country? It sucks that these people come here for a better life but then when they get here undocumented they have to have hearts full of fear and are even afraid to leave their houses. I really hope that this can change very soon.
