With so much media attention being paid to the court battles involving President Trump’s travel ban, his administration’s aggressive actions toward undocumented immigrants already in the country threaten to fly under the radar. It’s not that enforcement has been stepped up—Obama actually deported people in record numbers over the past eight years—but that the emphasis on potentially dangerous individuals has been considerably relaxed, leading to high-profile, heartbreaking cases like that of Guadalupe García De Rayos. No doubt we’ll soon see outraged documentaries on the subject. In the meantime, however, From Nowhere, a measured but fundamentally sorrowful drama about three undocumented teens applying for asylum, receives an ideally timed release this week, almost a year after its SXSW premiere. Back then, with Clinton an apparent shoo-in, the film was merely perceived as excellent. Today it also seems urgent.

An Arizona mother who left Mexico and entered the United States illegally when she was 14-years-old has been detained and might be one of the first people deported since President Trump’s executive order on immigration and border security went into effect.
Guadalupe Garcia de Rayos, a 36-year-old mother of two American teenagers, was taken into custody on Wednesday during one of her regular check-ins with Immigration and Customs Enforcement, according to The Los Angeles Times.
“We all knew something could be different this time with the new administration,” Carlos Garcia, director of the immigrant advocacy group Puente Arizona, told The Los Angeles Times.
