100 days of Trump: migrants fret over exile. world News

San Diego: Rosalba Hernandez kept her children’s birth certificates in hand, when an earthquake hit its part of California. But since Donald Trump returned to the White House, it is more because he is worried about the immigration raid.
The news about high-profile arrest and exile has given special characteristics in the office of Trump in the first 100 days ago, his administration said that he was doing well on the promises of the campaign to shut down on illegal immigration.
It has left unspecified people like Hernandez.
Hernandez, 46, told AFP in Southern California, “You don’t live your normal life anymore, which he has called home for half a life of life.
Hernandez, now a five -year -old mother, left Mexico with her eldest daughter in her arms more than two decades ago and reached the United States.
In 2019, he was earlier briefly detained under the Trump administration, when the immigration agents raided the supermarket where he worked.
Anubhav made her frightened, but Hernandez, who now works in a restaurant, says she has never been as nervous as she has been in the last three months.
“You go to work, but you don’t know what is going to happen … you don’t know if you are going to be able to go home or not,” he said.
He said, “Along with all focus on deporting people, they do not care. Even if you do not have a criminal record, you are arresting or waiting for someone, you have the bad luck to pass.”
To reduce the risk of facing agents, hernandez now only limits its outings that are strictly essential – and yet it is additional alert.
When she goes to work or takes her children to school-four of them are American citizens-she first examines out for suspected cars, or consults text chains associated with friends, neighbors and non-governmental organizations.
“When we see something irregular, we start informing these organizations, and everything is put on Facebook, in messages, on Instagram,” he said.
Civic patrolling
One of these sources of information is Union del Bario, a group that patrols the roads of San Diego and Los Angeles before morning in search of a possible raid.
A member of the organization Ron Gochez said, “The goal is not to see anything, but if we see something, we inform the community.”
“We do this in a different area of ​​Los Angeles every day. And we call 24 hours a day,” he told AFP during a visit to South-Central Los Angeles, a working class area with a strong immigrant appearance.
Workers gather to coordinate their patrolling at 5:30 am, the kind of vehicles that they seek assume that they use immigration and customs enforcement (ICE) agents.
“We are mainly looking for American SUVs, Ford, Chevy, etc.. Sometimes they also use pickup trucks or dodge challengers.
“We are looking for cars with tinted windows …. which can sometimes be double parking.”
These patrols started in San Diego over two decades ago, but Trump’s return to the frequency this year.
“The community is very scared,” Gochez said, whose day’s work is teaching history in a public school.
“Around 10 percent of my students have disappeared. They don’t go to school yet.”
43 -year -old Gochez said that he knew at least at least one student, whose family had run away to Al Salvador for fear of being implicated in the raid.
Community lives have also decreased, they say, with the presence of the church, and the age parties coming for Quinkenres-girls are growing up at the age of 15.
At the end of each patrol, Union del Bario posts images on social media to know whether their area is free from raids.
This information is important for people like Hernandez, who says that she is afraid of separating from her children every day.
“If I have an opportunity to live here, it is to move forward and help them for a better future,” he said.
“I don’t want them to work for 16 hours sometimes.”
Despite the risk, Hernandez said she was not afraid of giving an interview and was not ashamed.
“I am not saying anything that is not true,” she said.
“Like many people, I am working. We are not doing anything bad for this country.
“We all come to work, and our work contributes to the economy of this country.”
