Investigative Journalism - Deportation

            Deportation is a very serious matter, it can take any family member/friend away from you and you won’t be able to see them unless you cross into their country.    Deportation is an ancient practice, one of the earliest stories of deportation was about Khosrau I, Sassanid King of Persia, he deported 292,000 citizens, slaves, and conquered people to the new city of Ctesiphon in 542 C.E.  All countries around the world reserve the right to deport people without right of abode, even those citizens  who are longtime residents and/or have permanent residency.

            An example about deportation is from Donald Trump, he said this when he was interviewed about criminal illegal immigrants, “What we are going to do is get the people that are criminal and have criminal records, gang members, drug dealers, where a lot of these people, probably 2 million, it could be even 3 million, we are getting them out of our country or we are going to incarcerate”.  This quote helps because it gives his point of view of what Donald Trump thinks about those criminal immigrants, deportation is happening everywhere but mostly in the United States with president-elect Trump wanting to deport all of the gang bangers and criminals.

            Sergio Martinez an immigrant from Mexico says this when he thinks of Trump becoming the presidential the United States, “I still cannot believe it. Sometimes, I'm like, 'No, there's no way.' Just waiting for something. But no, it's real.”  Sergio Martinez has a temporary permission to stay and work in the U.S. under a program for children of undocumented immigrants, but Sergio fears that he could be deported under the presidency of Donald Trump.  This quote gives the reader information that most undocumented immigrants are fearing for their lives with Donald Trump becoming president, they don't want to be deported to their country and be far from family and friends
