Kenyans have been put on high alert about the prospect of living in the United States without proper documentation as immigration tensions between the U.S.

government and undocumented immigrants threaten to boil over.

President Donald Trump's administration is taking a more aggressive and military approach to handling illegal immigration in a development that now poses life-threatening dangers to Kenyans in the West who lack proper documentation.

In the past week, Trump deployed at least 2,000 members of the California National Guard to Los Angeles after two days of intense protests against immigration raids.
