If, in 2017, little was known about what the Republican was capable of doing, this time his return to power will be faced with resistance from municipal and state governments, activists and even courts across the country.

Node National Immigration Justice Centerfor example, the job is to make foreigners know their rights. “One of the tools the Trump administration can use is the expansion of the ‘expedited removal’ program, combined with raids on neighborhoods and workplaces,” the organization explained.

Using expedited removal, an immigration officer can quickly deport individuals without due process if the government establishes that they entered the United States without immigration documents or if they have been in the country for less than two years. People deported under expedited removal can be detained and deported without appearing before an immigration judge.

Therefore, the entity suggests that each family create a plan. This includes measures such as:

Identify who your emergency contacts are and memorize their phone numbers;

Provide your child’s school or daycare with an emergency contact to pick you up;

Provide written authorization for your emergency contact to make medical and legal decisions for your child;
