The federal administration headed by Donald Trump, starting on January 20, will face a strong response from activists and government bodies, especially in cities like San Francisco, committed to fighting anti-immigrant policies that threaten to deport nearly 12 million people in the United States.

During a lengthy plenary hearing of the Immigrant Rights Commission, various groups raised their voices to reject the policies promised by Trump, calling them "discriminatory and dangerous for millions of working families who have contributed to the development of the country."
