Immigration Policies: Deportation Orders and Immigrant Communities

immigration policies: Now, in cases spanning from Michigan to California, some of these immigrants are being told their time here is up, according to CTV. Immigrants who already have deportation orders and were allowed to stay in the country under the prior administration have become a target under President Donald Trump's new immigration policies, with some getting arrested on the spot during check-ins with officers. After a brief meeting, they're usually told to return months later to check in again. Such arrests have dismayed family members and sent chills through immigrant communities.
