The Trump administration is pressuring immigrants to leave through coordinated restrictions on jobs, healthcare, and housing. Raquel Molina, a 65-year-old Salvadoran immigrant with Temporary Protected Status, lost her $19.75-per-hour airport cleaning job after federal policy changed to deny secure access to non-permanent residents.

The strategy has driven 116,000+ people without permanent status to voluntarily depart, disrupting industries reliant on immigrant labor. Federal agencies have banned noncitizens from government-backed small business loans and blocked many from obtaining commercial driver's licenses needed for trucking jobs.

Trump signed an executive order urging banks to scrutinize immigration status of customers, while federal investigations target potential banking fraud by immigrants. The administration's regulatory approach reshapes the economic landscape for businesses dependent on immigrant labor and services.
