I'm not gonna be deported.
There is a real possibility that anyone in our family could be "detained" by ICE. My husband is Latino and so are my kids etc etc etc...(Everyone is natural born, so we aren't at that kind of risk) But my married name is Latino.
I remember during Bush, when many Muslims were profiled and interrogated at airports. The majority were eventually allowed to enter the US. However, it is a big drain to be harassed. Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan was constantly detained when he entered the US because he shares the same name as a terrorist. It got to the point where he decided to not come to the US anymore.

I don't think US citizens will be deported, but I think many will be harassed by immigration.
Being harassed weighs you down and depletes you. It's like being arrested for jay walking or something...
I'm very sorry that this could affect your job.
I liked the post about about how to cope. I think your priority should be your job, but then if there isn't anything you can do about it, then what?
