A migrant rights group in Texas is reportedly advising the state's estimated 1.6 million undocumented residents to plan ahead in case of detention, as deportation risks rise with the incoming Trump administration.
Joaquin Garcia, director of community organizing for La Union del Pueblo Entero (LUPE), urged attendees at a recent meeting to consider the practical aspects of their lives, such as childcare, bills, and property, if they were detained. "Who's going to pick up the kids from school? Payments on the house, car payments, house bills, the property title –– all of that has to be in your plan," Garcia said.
