Professor Román, Director of Immigration and Citizenship Initiatives, was recently featured in the Orlando Sentinel article, “Trump’s Plans to Deport Millions Would Have Impact Beyond the Undocumented.”
In the piece, Prof. Román warned about the far-reaching consequences of proposed mass deportation plans, emphasizing their potential to foster fear and racial profiling within communities. He advised, “If you happen to be driving or walking or existing while brown, you’re going to be presumptively challenged… It’s going to be, frankly, a reign of terror.”
Prof. Román’s insights reflect his commitment to addressing immigration issues with clarity and urgency, reinforcing FIU’s role as a leader in critical social discourse.
