I support strong pathways from high school into trades, college, the workforce, military service, and entrepreneurship so students can earn a real living.

Let the market decide. If you want renewable energy, there should be an option on your electric choice.
First Amendment: I'm not sure how this relates to immigration, but I support closing the border. Of course I support citizen's right to protest and free speech.
Fourth Amendment: We should ban flock cameras.
Deportation proceedings are civil, not criminal. Non-citizens receive notice of the charges and an opportunity to be heard appropriate to the circumstances. It is up to the immigrant (regardless of legal status) to remain in contact with the court.
