Upon taking office, President Trump issued an executive order aiming to undermine birthright citizenship and consolidate power, particularly concerning immigration policies. This set the stage for a troubling trend toward authoritarianism, framed within the context of scapegoating immigrants for wider societal issues. Throughout his presidency, Trump and Republicans have utilized fear tactics and false narratives to shift blame onto immigrants, impacting not only their rights but the democratic integrity of the nation as a whole. Legal experts identify alarming infringements on First and Fifth Amendment rights, raising serious concerns about the future of American democracy.
On the day he took an oath to uphold the U.S. Constitution, President Trump began efforts to rewrite it, issuing an executive order to end birthright citizenship.
The path to authoritarianism is being built on the backs of immigrants, creating both infrastructure and compliance that erodes democracy for all Americans.
Trump methodically scapegoated immigrants, manufacturing false crises to convince Americans that immigrants threatened their economic stability and public safety.
Experts warn that Trump has infringed upon First Amendment rights by targeting dissenters, stripping individuals of their due process protections under the Fifth Amendment.
