Q: If I am not married but in love and living with Mexican immigrant, does or will Tx deport since Tump?
A:
Congress has control over all immigration-related regulations, while the President is in charge of enforcing immigration laws. The agency that handles immigration enforcement is Immigration and Customs Enforcement, or ICE. That is a federal agency. Immigration court proceedings, at which non-citizens may defend themselves against removal and establish a right to remain in the U.S., are handled by the Executive Office for Immigration Review (EOIR).
The point being that Texas has no role in deportation. Moreover, all state laws affecting immigration are challenged either through litigation by immigrants' rights and civil liberties groups or by the federal government.
Rather than live with concerns and stress of not knowing, I recommend going to an immigration lawyer and asking the person what your options are. Moreover, having the name of a good lawyer who you can call in case of an emergency is very helpful. Many lawyers will give you a brief, but free, consultation.
