'In this Trump world, if you’re not white, you’re considered other.' With immigration raids expected to begin Sunday, some U.S. citizens are taking precautions, including carrying their American passports at all times.
Linda Gamboa, a Chicano artist based in Los Angeles who was born in the United States, said she began carrying her passport about the time Trump was elected.
Los Angeles resident Guadalupe Acuña said her husband, noted Chicano studies Professor Rodolfo Acuña, has encouraged her to renew her passport because of"Morally speaking, I don’t think anyone should have to carry these papers, but that's where we're going," she said. "I don’t think any of us want to live in a country where people feel they have to carry their passports all the time because of their race," he said."The track record of ICE and immigration enforcement is not good. I can understand why someone would do that."Tori Griffin, who is African American and a community leader in Atlanta, said he recently put his passport in his backpack in case ICE agents asked him for proof of citizenship.
"I consider myself to be as American as apple pie," he said."But in this environment, in this Trump world, if you’re not white, you’re considered other. That’s how polarizing it’s gotten."
