President Donald Trump, during his first week back in office, initiated his controversial immigration agenda by declaring a national emergency at the southern border, reinstating previous policies, and halting refugee resettlement. Immigration experts indicate that these decisions are already instilling confusion and fear among immigrant families. For instance, the suspension of the refugee program and legal challenges to birthright citizenship raise uncertain implications. The Department of Defense is also mobilizing personnel to assist border control efforts, signifying a shift towards more aggressive enforcement strategies that will impact communities significantly in the short and long term.
"The actions send a clear message and are already affecting immigrants in the country, evoking confusion, fear, and uncertainty for families and communities."
"On his first day in office, Trump declared a national emergency at the southern border, laying the foundation for him to deploy armed forces to stop entries of undocumented immigrants."
