President Trump initiated aggressive immigration restrictions on his second tour of the White House with executive orders aimed at closing legal asylum channels for migrants. He repealed programs from the Biden administration, which had allowed for safer entry procedures through the use of a government app, CBP One. Trump's orders aim to seal off borders, effectively barring those fleeing violence and persecution from entering. His actions echo the strict policies of his first term, focusing on border security and the eradication of previous legal pathways for migrants.
Mr. Trump directed his administration to end programs former President Biden Jr. put in place that gave migrants opportunities to apply for asylum once they were in the United States.
Mr. Trump spent much of his first term focusing on the idea of building a wall to keep out migrants, but his actions this week to change border policies had a much more immediate and far-reaching impact.
