Donald Trump's presidency initiated severe anti-immigrant policies, including an executive order targeting birthright citizenship. Though some judicial actions have obstructed these measures, they continue unabated with various enforcement initiatives. However, resistance from local governments and grassroots efforts is gaining traction. Deirdre Schifeling from the ACLU advocates for local action, emphasizing the influence of public opinion on political decisions. Community engagement, education on immigration rights, and support for sanctuary policies are crucial steps to combat anti-immigrant actions and foster awareness.
One of Donald Trump's first acts as president was to sign an executive order attacking birthright citizenship.
While several judges have moved to block the order, Trump's anti-immigrant push is continuing.
Politicians are moved by public opinion. Apply pressure by continually calling and emailing your representatives.
Schifeling recommends asking local leaders to pass sanctuary city or state laws.
