On Tuesday, June 18, 2019, Trump threatened to arrest and deport “millions” of undocumented immigrants in a speech delivered at his re-election kick off campaign in Florida. That same day, Trump took his threats to Twitter, allowing his xenophobia to be spread widely, causing anxiety and fear for undocumented immigrants. Whether these threats are empty or not, NAKASEC & affiliates - Korean Resource Center (KRC) of Southern California, HANA Center of greater Chicago, and NAKASEC VA, would like to assure our undocumented community members that we are with you and we encourage people to know their rights. It has been reported that ICE will carry out mass enforcement actions in major metropolitan cities including Los Angeles, Chicago, Houston, and DC this weekend, and will be targeting individuals who did not show up to a hearing or were ordered removed but are still present in the U.S.
