The moment 19-year-old Emely Agustin spotted the group of masked immigration agents tackling a woman facedown on the pavement, her heart dropped.

She saw the woman’s red jacket.

“Oh my fucking God. That’s my mom!” she screamed.

It was the morning of 5 November in Cottage Grove, in central Oregon, and masked officers with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) had dragged Juanita Avila out of her van. The agents pinned her down as she cried out for her daughter, who started filming. Juanita, a 47-year-old legal permanent resident, had her green card in her pocket, but officers handcuffed and detained her.

With green card holders actively being targeted now and birth rates low, we can expect U.S. population growth to dry up. This has a ton of negative economic impacts that will be felt long after Trump is dead. And it's liable to be exacerbated by severed international relationships and an increase in movement away from U.S. companies
