How do mixed-status families complicate immigration enforcement efforts?

Question

Accepted Answer

Mixed-status families—where some members are U.S. citizens and others are undocumented—create complex enforcement situations where deportation can separate U.S. citizen children from immigrant parents, raising humanitarian concerns and legal questions about citizens' rights. These situations often involve constitutional questions about children's rights, family unity principles, and the practical impossibility of deporting entire families when some members have legal status.
