Dread of removal
Deportation fears refers to anxiety about being forcibly removed from a country, typically experienced by undocumented immigrants, visa holders, or those with uncertain legal status.
The phrase appears frequently in news coverage of immigration policy: Deportation fears have kept many families from seeking medical care.
The fears may extend to family members who are citizens but worry about relatives being deported.
