💨 Abstract

Leonel Chávez, deported from the U.S. to Mexico, struggles with the separation from his family. Under President Trump's administration, deportations have surged to at least 200,000 Latin Americans in the first ten months of 2025, a stark increase from the 34,293 deportations in the same period under Biden. The aggressive deportation policies are affecting various industries, particularly agriculture, as workers fear arrest.
