Latinos worry more than other U.S. adults about deportations
Amid heightened immigration enforcement during the early weeks of President Donald Trump’s second term, 42% of Hispanic adults say they worry that they or someone close to them could be deported, according to a Pew Research Center survey of U.S. adults conducted Feb. 24 to March 2, 2025.

This is similar to the share of Latinos who expressed concern about deportations during President Joe Biden’s tenure, as well as in the later stages of Trump’s first term.
Latinos express more concern about deportations than Asian, Black and White adults, according to the new survey. They are also more likely than other racial and ethnic groups to worry about being asked to prove their citizenship or immigration status – and to say they have begun carrying documents that prove their status.
