And when I talked to some community members, they said they weren't sure.
They weren't sure if this was going to lead to a change like that.
Do you think that this, what's happened, is going to change people's opinions about Trump or politics?
Or do you think it's going to have some sort of bigger ripple effect about
The political landscape here?
But then some people said Trump signs that were displayed in people's yards in the neighborhood have come down in the last few days.

So many people across the country are grappling with the really difficult consequences of Trump's immigration policies.
And I think the big question is, how will this change or will this change how they vote and will it change their politics in the future?
In the last election, most people who voted voted for President Donald Trump.
75% of voters supported him.
It's an agricultural community, and most people there either work
on farms or in the schools or bank or other local businesses.
