President Trump has ordered Immigration and Customs Enforcement to dramatically widen its enforcement priorities. One of the first cases to garner national attention was that of Guadalupe Garcia de Rayos, a 35-year-old mother of two American children, who first crossed into the U.S. when she was 14.

Here & Now's Jeremy Hobson talks with immigration attorney Ray Ybarra Maldonado (@rayybarra) about de Rayos's arrest. Also, we hear from Alan Gomez (@alangomez), who covers immigration and Latin America for USA Today, about the bigger picture nationwide.

This segment aired on March 9, 2017.
