US Immigrants Terrified of Possible Mass Deportations



VOANews: US Immigrants Terrified of Possible Mass Deportations

One of President Donald Trump’s signature campaign promises was to crack down on illegal immigration. So late last week when U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) rounded up 680 people in five major cities, the immigrant community went on alert, even though ICE said the operation was routine like many conducted in the past targeting undocumented criminals.

'A Day Without Immigrants' Promises A National Strike




VOANews: Imagine a Day Without Immigrants in a Country Full of Immigrants
Immigrants in the United States have had a bad rap through a divisive presidential election. Now, with a new administration in the White House, there seems to be real consequences, ranging from travel bans to deportations. But immigrants are fighting back, and on Thursday in Washington, some businesses gladly suffered the loss of a day without their workforce. Arash Arabasadi explains.
