Capital Region migrants concerned about Trump’s plans
There has been a lot of anxiety and uncertainty in the immigration community since last week’s election.
The new Trump administration is expected to carry out the largest deportation in American history in just over eight weeks. A new life in the United States could come to end for countless asylum seekers and other new arrivals.
This is part of the reason why immigration attorney’s offices are filled with many new clients.
Albany immigration attorney Cianna Freeman from Whiteman, Osterman & Hanna said she expects many area businesses to be visited by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents looking to round up undocumented workers.
The Trump administration is considering using the military and local law enforcement to assist ICE with these deportations, Freeman said.
