Fears among minorities rising in Trump's America

Since Donald Trump became president, many minority groups, including Indigenous Americans, transgender people, and immigrants, are afraid for their future.

The Chippewa Cree, a Native American tribe, lives in the far north of the state of Montana. For several centuries now, they have been marginalized in their own country. Yet they say the policies of the new government differ greatly from any previous restrictions or discriminations. They now fear running an unprecedented risk of being arrested and perhaps even deported.

Since Donald Trump threatened mass deportations, many thousands of undocumented migrants have been living in a state of fear. His statement “there are only two genders” and his opposition to diversity and inclusion has increased the anxiety and fear of anyone who is nonbinary or unsure about their gender identity.

DW reporters Shristi Pal, Fernando Mateos, and Ines Pohl went to two different states and Washington DC, and asked how minorities see their future.
