PHOENIX — ABC15 is continuing our 48 Hours on the Border coverage and listening to the community’s reaction amid the possibility that mass deportations could happen when President-elect Donald Trump takes office next year.
Reporter Patricio Espinoza spoke with two Phoenix pastors who are continuing their work across the border and other community members, including some who are anxious about what’s to come.
Some of those concerns include pending asylum applications, the possibility of officials “tracking down” people who are not in the country legally, and what could happen in other specific situations.
