TikToker Deports Cheating Boyfriend & It’s Not Okay

These are just the repercussions of crossing back into the U.S. as a previously undocumented immigrant. For the person who is deported, there are other immediate ramifications, like suffering from a sudden loss of community, home, and work. In this case, the ex-boyfriend was unwillingly returned to a place where he may or may not have friends or family, a place where he may or may not have left because of the risk of violence or abuse. While this wasn’t a de facto deportation, the documented effects of forcibly removing someone from where they are currently living are still relevant. Studies show that deportation can result in financial instability, food insecurity, the destruction of families, depression, anxiety, and extreme stress.
