Families relocate within US amid immigration crackdowns | JQJO

As immigration enforcement intensifies, some undocumented families are relocating inside the U.S., seeking towns with fewer raids. In Florida, E., an undocumented mother, decided to leave after hostile stares in a Tampa store and a raid at her husband’s construction site; the family plans to move to a small Michigan town on a friend’s advice. Demographer Matt Brooks says migrants often make multiple moves, including away from enforcement hot spots. NPR recently checked in with R., from Nebraska, who drove to North Carolina after a plant raid and found quieter work in roofing.
