Trump's 'golden rule' for imposing reciprocal tariffs
In the past few weeks, Sandigo has received hundreds of calls from immigrant parents across the US. She said she has been in at least 15 houses where parents have filled out paperwork so Sandigo could sign documents on behalf of their children at schools, hospitals and courts if they are deported. The power of attorney also allows her to help the children travel to reunite with their families.
«Now people are telling us that they are afraid to go out on the street, that they are afraid to drive, that they are afraid that they will stop them on the street,» said Sandigo, a 59-year-old mother of two daughters who lives in Homestead, a city of about 80,000 people south of Miami. «They have asked me to go to where they are instead of them coming to me.»
Immigration arrests under Trump
The White House has said over 8,000 immigrants who were in the country illegally have been arrested since Trump's inauguration on Jan. 20. ICE averaged 787 arrests a day from Jan. 23 to Jan. 31, compared with a daily average of 311 during a 12-month period that ended Sept. 30 during the Biden administration. ICE has stopped publishing daily arrest totals.
