Mexican immigrants

Federal immigration enforcement moved through western Kansas and detained several people. It comes after President Donald Trump promised deportations of people in the country without legal status. Southwest Kansas has a high percentage of immigrants.

28-year-old Natalie Zarate spent two decades working towards becoming a citizen after crossing the U.S.-Mexico border illegally as a child. Except now she worries that the Trump administration’s aggressive efforts to crack down on immigration and end birthright citizenship could endanger her and her family.

U.S. officials said this strategy seeks to distance deported individuals from Mexico’s northern border, making immediate re-entry more difficult and discouraging further attempts to cross the border.

Fear is rising as politicians nationwide target immigrants with their Trump-inspired rhetoric and policies. Oklahoma’s Latino immigrant community has been stirred into a panic.
