-Jeff Sessions is also expanding an existing program aimed at holding deportation hearings for immigrants while they are still in federal prison. That effort is known as the Institutional Hearing Program. Holding such hearings before inmates' sentences are finished would let the government deport them immediately when they are released. Trump is also relocating judges to speed up deportations process.
-ICE agency has already put out requests to identify privately-run jail sites in Chicago, Detroit, St. Paul, Salt Lake City and southern Texas to jail more undocumented immigrants.

So all of this is already happening and it will continue to get worse with or without a DACA deal and this administration will eventually find loopholes to expand their deportations process. At this point I would want us to get a green card at least to visit my parents if they do get deported and be able to help them out financially.
