Now, a more personal take on how the Trump administration's immigration policies have created

fear and uncertainty for many communities.

Santiago Campos of the NewsHours journalism training program, the student reporting labs, spoke

with his family members who lived through an earlier government crackdown.

In the 1950s, the Eisenhower administration deported hundreds of thousands of Mexican

immigrants, both documented and undocumented, as well as American citizens of Mexican descent.

This included my grandfather, Daniel Campos.

He and his family were among those deported to Mexico.

His mother was undocumented, but he was a U.S. born citizen. Why they were deported? I don't know, but I know they were deported to Mexico. His mother was undocumented, but he was a U.S. born citizen.

Why they were deported us?

I don't know, but I know they would deport us.

We should have been, we were U.S. citizens.

The powers to be were white.

So they could basically do just whatever they wanted with us.

At one point, a confrontation with a Border Patrol agent

would lead Daniel's mother, my great-grandmother,

to agree to a deal. The entire time that they had been deported, my mother was to try and get her to be an informant for the Border Patrol.

My great-grandmother did succumb to this pressure,

agreeing to inform Border Patrol of the whereabouts of other undocumented migrants.

In exchange, she wouldn't be deported any further and would eventually get naturalized.

These sorts of encounters with Border Patrol instilled fear that persisted to the next

generation.
