Alberto Lovo Rojas fled violence in his home country. Now, he fears Trump-backed deportation

It finally happened while he was waiting to get his hair cut.

Alberto Lovo Rojas, an asylum seeker from Nicaragua, had been feeling uneasy for weeks, worried that immigration officials would arrest him any moment.
