US immigration crackdown: Migrant workers live in fear of deportation

Immigration raids in the United States have intensified, targeting workplaces that employ undocumented migrants. The construction industry, heavily reliant on immigrant labour, faces potential disruption as workers live in constant fear of deportation. Day labourers, many of whom have lived and worked in the US for decades, now grapple with the threat of being torn from their families and livelihoods. Experts warn that mass deportations could have far-reaching economic consequences, potentially raising housing costs and impacting various sectors dependent on immigrant workers. As the Trump administration aims to deport one million people within a year, the human toll and economic ramifications of this policy are becoming increasingly apparent.
