An Overview of the Trump
Administration’s Immigration
Policies and Their Impact on Black Migrants

BLACK ALLIANGE FOR JUST IMMIGRATION
Impact on Black Migrants
Kick Us Out:
• The dismantling of Temporary Protected Status (TPS) and CHNV humanitarian parole program makes it clear that the Trump administration is targeting the few remaining protections available to Black migrants. Across the country, Black immigrant communities are living in fear and uncertainty as their legal status hangs in the balance. Instead of upholding its obligations to provide refuge, the administration is slashing programs and shutting own pathways to safety deliberately abandoning those most in need of humanitarian protection.
The administration is setting an alarming precedent through its expanded use of expedited removals and detaining migrants abroad. With the administration's refusal to comply with a Supreme Court order demanding the return of Kilmar Abrego Garcia, it is clear that this administration's "mass deportation plan" is akin to state-sponsored kidnappings, where the government can disappear people across borders. Once they're out, they may never be heard from again. This is especially alarming for Black migrants, as the administration is aggressively stripping away existing protections while ramping up enforcement operations. Black migrants are already over-policied and now face an even greater risk of being deported and detained in foreign countries.

I heard they weren't hard to build either and were cost effective. They are reverse engineering us to be less handy and crafty as well as putting more of us in the position to own less capital like land and our own homes.

This one got me ... do not offer comfort?? This isn't a "strange relationship", she is a victim. She is being victimized, the family is aware, and the best course of action they came up with is to allow it to continue and for the abuser to have even more access and control over her. A damn shame.
