San Francisco-based Fil-Am immigration lawyer Johnson Lazaro disclosed that his Filipino clients were both emotional and desperate after Trump won the election.
“Our phone was ringing off the hook. It was pandemonium. We serve many immigrants in our community, and many were downright frightened. We even got emails and calls from out-of-state communities as far east as Florida and New York,” Lazaro recalled.
“The questions were persistent: Should I leave the country now, before they come and get me? Should I go into hiding? What will happen to my children, or to my elderly parents? Will they come to arrest me? Is there anything we can do right now? Should we sell our house? Do we have any legal recourse? Can you defend us, and what will it cost?”
