How Trump's Immigration Policies Are Changing Austin

After a shooter targeted a North Texas ICE facility last week, Texas Gov. Greg Abbott vowed that the incident would “NOT slow our arrest, detention and deportation of illegal immigrants.” Already, Texas leads the country in the number of immigration detentions, according to reporting by Axios, though it’s unclear where exactly in the state those are taking place. Here in Austin, where immigrants represent about 15% of the population, life under President Donald Trump’s immigration policies looks very different than it did last year. Law enforcement presence has ramped up in certain parts of town, and soon, the Travis County Sheriff’s Office will have to participate in immigration enforcement, too, a change from the past. And appointments in San Antonio that used to be low-risk are now terrifying experiences, as arrests at check-ins have been more common. To break it all down, executive producer Eva Ruth Moravec is joined by Emiliano Tahui Gómez, Latino communities reporter for the Austin American-Statesman. Want some more Austin news?
