Andrea Lino: 我是一名移民律师，在西雅图工作，我的客户遍布多个西部州。我代表被拘留的移民。特朗普政府上任后，我感受到巨大的不确定性，这给我的客户带来了极大的恐慌和压力。特朗普政府计划进行美国历史上最大规模的驱逐行动，这让我感到非常疲惫，但我也准备好战斗。 我告诉我的客户不要相信他们听到的一切，因为政府希望很多人因为害怕而自我驱逐。特朗普政府的行动比我预期的要快，但这并不意味着他们凌驾于法律之上。他们仍然有权利，我们仍然可以为他们争取权益。 我的一位客户在沃尔玛遇到了移民局的逮捕行动，这让我更加意识到形势的严峻。在特朗普上任的第一周，我没有看到大规模逮捕或驱逐出境的激增，但我看到了恐慌，我认为这是蓄意的。 我们组织在挑战特朗普的出生公民权行政命令方面取得了重大胜利，但这只是暂时的，我担心一旦案件进入最高法院，结果可能不会乐观。 我注意到地理上的巨大差异，比如在华盛顿州东部，警察不会与ICE合作，但在爱达荷州，警察会与ICE合作逮捕移民。 最近，我的一位客户因为交通违规被捕，法官认为他们有逃跑风险，拒绝保释，这对他们和他们的家庭来说是毁灭性的。尽管如此，我仍然会继续为他们争取权益。
