What will Trump's immigration policy mean for Snohomish County?

EVERETT — Anfal Zaroug wanted a better life for her unborn daughter.

She fled the ongoing civil war in Sudan, which, since it began in 2023, has displaced over 11 million people, killed over 61,000 and caused one of the world’s worst humanitarian crises. When she arrived in Egypt, Zaroug, 32, found out she was pregnant.

“The moment I knew that I’m pregnant with the girl, that’s when we decided to come here, to protect her,” Zaroug said.

Now, after arriving in the United States in February, Zaroug, along with her husband and her daughter, 6-month-old Celia Hassen, are finally safe. She got a visa, applied for asylum and is taking English classes at Everett Community College.

What’s she afraid of? Being sent back.
