Abstract
As the Trump administration escalates deportation efforts nationwide, New York City is bracing for increased enforcement, with advocates warning that fear of deportation raids is already reshaping daily life for immigrant communities. New York protesters have not yet faced the most severe federal charges following high-profile confrontations, as protesters have in other states around the country. And the federal cases are largely falling apart and not resulting in trials or convictions. Despite the legal threat, some advocates see the moment as galvanizing.
