The migrants targeted by Trump: From the waiter serving morning coffee to a newspaper cartoonist
The U.S. president’s plans for mass deportations have a direct impact on individuals like Miguel Hernández, a Mexican worker in New York, and Iván Almonte, who has lived in the country for decades without legal documentation
Anyone — including Donald Trump — can find Miguel Hernández at Georgina Diner in Queens, New York, from Monday to Friday, where he has been working as a waiter for several years. He’s there on Tuesdays, smiling and dressed neatly in his work uniform. People have advised him to be cautious these days, with talk of massive raids and the possible and unexpected arrival of agents from Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), but Hernández has no choice but to continue with his work. If he doesn’t work, he doesn’t eat.
