At least 13 million undocumented migrants live in the US - an umbrella term that includes those who entered the US illegally, overstayed their visas or have protected status to avoid deportation.

Gabriela , a housekeeper in Maryland , says she is not scared at all: "That's for criminals to worry about. I pay taxes, and I work" Some undocumented migrants believe they will benefit from a Trump presidency instead of being kicked out.

Undocumented migrants without criminal convictions could be caught up in "collateral arrests" - a term used in the first Trump administration to describe immigrants swept up during enforcement actions even though they may not have been the original targets.

The stock prices of companies involved in building detention facilities have jumped by as much as 90% since the election.

The possibility of becoming "an easy target" has worried many migrants.
