President Donald Trump’s immigrant deportation efforts have escalated dramatically over the past few weeks, setting workers on edge and stirring up fear in workplaces across the U.S. 

From Los Angeles to Texas and Florida, agents from the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) have shown up at businesses to check for undocumented workers and make arrests. Trump wrote in a social media post on Sunday that ICE agents would “do all in their power to achieve the very important goal of delivering the single largest Mass Deportation Program in History.”
