The mass deportation plans evoke fear among migrants as they celebrate Thanksgiving, a key American holiday, overshadowed by uncertainty about family separation and expulsion.
Gladys Carolina, a Venezuelan migrant, admitted her anxiety, stating, 'Those of us who have crossed the Darien jungle and survived the Beast can face anything except returning to Venezuela.'
Carolina Lopez expressed her fears poignantly, saying, 'I am terrified for the baby, because if they deport me, they will leave him here, where he was born.'
Immigration lawyers stress that applying for a work permit does not guarantee protection from deportation, leaving many vulnerable, like Carolina and Gladys.
