Heritage Foundation president on Trump's first 100 days
Briefly

In the first 100 days of President Trump's second administration, aggressive policies have been enacted, including executive orders, tariffs, and mass deportations aimed at fulfilling campaign promises. The administration's actions mirror the Heritage Foundation's Project 2025 framework despite Trump's earlier disassociation with it. Kevin Roberts, the Heritage Foundation president, defended these moves, emphasizing the focus on immigration reform and suggesting that undocumented individuals are entitled to immigration court hearings. A controversial deportation case further illustrates tensions between due process and Trump's policy goals, with implications for individual rights amid broad immigration enforcement.
Trump's administration has aggressively pursued conservative policies, as seen in his executive orders, tariff implementation, and emphasis on mass deportations, aligning with Project 2025.
Kevin Roberts, president of the Heritage Foundation, stated that while they may offer ideas to Trump, the administration's actions are ultimately for the benefit of the American people.
Roberts defended Trump's deportation record, arguing that undocumented individuals are 'owed one process and that's an immigration court hearing,' amidst controversy over violations of court orders.
When discussing the deportation case of Kilmar Abrego Garcia, Roberts accused his legal team of dishonesty and labeled them as being funded by the 'radical left,' showing a dismissive stance towards due process.
