Since President Donald Trump returned to the White House, he has issued executive orders aimed at radically transforming the U.S. immigration system. His administration has declared a national emergency at the U.S.-Mexico border and terminated deportation protections for hundreds of thousands of Venezuelans. It has also ended a parole process for Venezuelans, Cubans, Nicaraguans, and Haitians that allowed over half a million people to live and work here and restored immigration enforcement agents’ ability to enter schools, churches and other sensitive locations.

South Florida is home to many people with roots outside of the United States. Over half of Miami-Dade County’s population is foreign-born. That means Trump’s policies could have big effects in our communities.

In an effort to reach as many readers as possible, the Herald is asking South Floridians to share their experiences, questions, opinions and concerns about Trump’s immigration policies. We want to help provide answers and shed light on how South Floridians are navigating these changes.
