An Uncertain Future

For two expectant mothers in Austin, Texas, increased ICE raids and growing hostility towards immigrants cast a shadow over an otherwise happy occasion in their lives. Their children, due mere few weeks after Donald Trump's inauguration, will be among the first born during his presidency.

Ruth, who is undocumented, worries that she and her husband will be deported and separated from their newborn and three older children. Cristina, a US citizen, fears that her undocumented husband could be whisked away at a moment's notice. Meanwhile, an ongoing battle in the Texas legislature leaves the fate of the children of deported immigrants up in the air.
