Immigration and How ICE Enforcement Is Reshaping America in 2025 by Mar Vincent Cordovez

In 2025, ICE raids under President Trump’s Project 2025 have become chaotic, leaving immigrant communities in fear and reshaping the labor economy. I am now unsure of the future of even the naturalized immigrants where their citizenship might also be stripped off. A haunting image Glass House Farms in California shows ICE agents confronting workers with military support, highlighting the militarized tone of enforcement.


Protestors on the 101 Freeway in LA waved flags and clashed with police—symbolizing the raw resistance to these policies. Meanwhile, infographics from CBS News reveal nearly half of detainees lack criminal records, questioning the ethical framework of such actions.

An interactive map by USA Today details over 600 law enforcement partnerships aiding raids, mostly in Florida and Texas. Online social media platforms, show emotional reactions to detention and deportation scenes, spread fear across communities.

I have seen the stress on my friends' faces, watched them pause their dreams, take fewer courses, or pile on loans just to stay in the game. And honestly? That hits hard.

It allows me to stay enrolled, push toward my academic and career goals, and only worry about the small stuff like proctoring fees or textbooks. I am not drowning in debt.
