Jorge Ramos worries about ‘raids’ on illegal immigrants – Washington Examiner

Mexican-American journalist Jorge Ramos said now that President Trump is following through on restricting illegal immigration, he worries that there may be mass "raids" and deportation.

In a column published Tuesday on the website Fusion, Ramos, who famously clashed with Trump during the campaign, said he no longer recognizes the U.S. as his home.

"All I want is for new immigrants to enjoy the same opportunities that I and millions of others throughout American history have received," he wrote. "But for the moment, Trump is making that impossible."

In late January, Trump signed an executive order that instructed law enforcement to more quickly expedite illegal immigrants who commit large crimes. The order also directed the construction of a "physical wall" on the Mexican border.

"Deporting almost all of the 11 million undocumented immigrants living in the U.S. is now a priority," wrote Ramos. "If this is truly the case, will there soon be widespread raids on homes or workplaces? This executive order makes it seem that anyone who is deemed deportable by an immigration officer is at risk."
