In the wake of Donald Trump's re-election, which promised significant changes to immigration policy, Chinese immigrant Jenny is living in fear for her family's safety. After fleeing an abusive relationship and working towards legal status, she finds her life upended as her green card application remains unresolved. Jenny's concerns reflect a broader anxiety within the Chinese immigrant community, as Trump's proposed mass deportations and harsh rhetoric suggest increased scrutiny on undocumented individuals, altering their everyday lives significantly and making them wary of public spaces and everyday activities.
"People are very scared, Jenny said. My husband and I are very scared. So many policies have changed and so many more are coming from White House that might have an impact on us."
"Immigrant rights advocates say Trump's targeted rhetoric has instilled an unprecedented level of fear and anxiety in Chinese communities, both among newly arrived migrants and undocumented immigrants who have lived in the US for decades."
