President-elect Donald Trump's intention to enact the largest deportation program in history is sparking fear among New York's undocumented immigrant population, especially in Queens County.
Concerns are mounting in Queens as Mayor Eric Adams openly meets with Trump’s border czar, hinting at collaboration for a 'realistic and compassionate' national immigration strategy.
Queens, the most diverse county in NYC, has over 235,000 undocumented residents, and local officials fear the implications of large-scale deportations and anti-immigrant rhetoric.
Despite being a sanctuary city, the predicted policy shifts under Trump are raising alarm among immigrants and advocacy groups about the potential local fallout.
