Mar 28 | Trump's immigration crackdown targets not just criminals but legal residents, visa holders & applicants. Humanitarian protections are revoked, secret deportations occur, and policies now include immigrant registration, IRS cooperation, and social media scrutiny. Experts explain your rights.
In his first presidential term, Donald Trump obstructed asylum, imposed a “Muslim Ban,” undermined Temporary Protected Status, terminated DACA and separated families at the border. This time, his immigration plans are even more ambitious.
Immigration experts say there will be panic and fear in the immigrant community as Trump uses public charge on the campaign trail to gain support for his anti-immigrant policies.
The Mexican president also criticized U.S. politicians for targeting immigrant communities who, he said, often undertake risk jobs like the workers on the bridge.
