Tagged: crime, deportation, Guatemala“Robberies of illegal immigrants have become a serious problem here in recent years, and the victims, mostly from Guatemala, often avoid reporting the crimes, fearing deportation.
“I was afraid,” said Velasquez, 25, a landscaper who arrived here six years ago. He reported the crime but later tried to hide from the authorities to avoid appearing in court. “But then I thought, whether I’m documented or not, I still have my rights,” he said.”
