Anxiety rises over continuing deportations and swift-changing immigration policies Among recent deportees is a Mexican woman who witnessed the El Paso massacre in 2019. President Joe Biden’s hundred-day moratorium on deportations was supposed to ease anxieties in immigrant communities after four years of harsh crackdowns by the recently ended administration. But across the nation, deportations continue at about the same pace as before Biden was inaugurated Jan. 20. That’s because the Texas attorney general sued to stop the policy change, with a judge issuing a temporary injunction on the moratorium through Feb, 23. The fight over deportations in the courts and the halls of Congress signals the difficulty the Biden administration will have in changing immigration policy. Immigrant families are feeling increased anxiety and fear as they cope with a changing landscape.
