Trump Proposes Mass Deportation Including U.S. Citizens

In a recent interview, President-elect Donald Trump proposed deporting families with mixed immigration status together to avoid breaking them up, despite the presence of U.S.-born children in many such households. This echoes the stance of his "border czar" Tom Homan and raises concerns about the humanitarian and logistical implications of mass deportations. While Trump expressed openness to allowing Dreamers to stay, he reaffirmed his intention to end birthright citizenship, a move that would challenge the 14th Amendment. Experts warn that these plans could be costly and strain immigration courts.

Trump's Deportation Plan Threatens Millions of Mixed-Status Families and Children

Migrant families and advocacy groups are preparing for potential mass deportations under President-elect Donald Trump, which could separate up to 4 million mixed-status families. In states like Arizona and Pennsylvania, families are creating emergency plans, including obtaining passports and powers of attorney, to prepare for possible separations. Advocacy groups are also responding to state-level immigration laws, such as Arizona's Proposition 314, which could increase deportations. Concerns about community trust and law enforcement capacity are being raised by local officials.

Trump's Mass Deportation Plans Stir Controversy and Concerns

Families with mixed immigration status are grappling with the fear of deportation following former President Trump's reelection and his promise of mass deportations. Angel Reyes Rivas, a DACA recipient, and his wife, both without permanent legal status, worry about the impact on their U.S.-born children. Similar concerns are echoed by Carolina Saavedra, whose undocumented parents prepared her for potential separation. The ongoing lack of a path to citizenship leaves many feeling disenfranchised, despite their contributions to the U.S. economy.

"FAFSA Woes: Colleges Grapple with Financial Aid Delays"

Colleges are facing delays in sending out financial aid offers due to errors and incompletions in the U.S. Education Department's new federal student aid form, FAFSA. Some institutions are considering sending out "provisional" aid offers to meet deadlines, while others are opting for transparency and frequent updates. The delays have forced many colleges to extend their commitment deadlines, and mixed-status families are particularly affected, with some students still unable to submit their FAFSA. Colleges are working to be flexible and accommodate students amidst the challenges.
