Illegal immigrants who have lived as long-term residents in the United States have been most affected by the Trump administration’s deportation efforts, according to a new report.
People who have lived in the U.S. for over a decade accounted for 44.4% of people deported in recent months, while more than 50% of deportees have made their home in the country for at least six years, according to a Kino Border Initiative case study focused on Mexican migrants removed to a temporary Mexican government facility in Nogales, Sonora.
