Following his return to the White House, President Donald Trump has issued executive orders with the intention of bringing about a significant change in the immigration system in the United States. According to his government, a national emergency has been proclaimed along the border between the United States and Mexico, and protections against deportation have been withdrawn for hundreds of thousands of Venezuelans.
A parole process for Venezuelans, Cubans, Nicaraguans, and Haitians has been terminated, which has made it possible for more than half a million people to reside and work in the United States. Additionally, the ability of immigration enforcement agents to visit schools, churches, and other sensitive sites has been reinstated throughout this process.
Many people who have their roots in countries other than the United States call South Florida their home. Foreign-born people make up more than half of the population of Miami-Dade County. This indicates that the policies that Trump has implemented could have significant repercussions for our communities.
As part of an attempt to reach the greatest number of readers possible, the Herald is soliciting responses from residents of South Florida regarding their experiences, questions, opinions, and concerns regarding the immigration policy of President Trump. Our goal is to assist in providing answers and shedding light on the ways in which people living in South Florida are coping with these changes.
