Immigrants and advocacy groups across the U.S. are on high alert in response to President Trump's plans for mass deportation raids. There is growing anxiety among immigrant communities, leading many to avoid going to work or sending children to school. Notably, groups like the Illinois Coalition for Immigrant and Refugee Rights and Somos Un Pueblo Unido are actively raising awareness about immigrants' rights and organizing legal support. Schools and businesses, particularly in cities like Denver and Chicago, are preparing for potential raids, while local police departments clarified their stance against assisting immigration enforcement.
Activist Lawrence Benito highlighted that on Monday, his organization received 400 calls for help, reflecting the heightened anxiety among immigrants in response to imminent raids.
Somos Un Pueblo Unido emphasized the importance of awareness, launching a "Know Your Rights" campaign to empower immigrants amidst threats from federal immigration enforcement.
