From High School Activism to Trump Administration

This chapter traces the journey of a conservative voice who transitioned from high school criticism of political correctness to hard-right activism, focusing on racial and gender issues. It examines the ascent of a fringe figure in anti-immigration politics, their alliance with powerful media and political figures, and their influence on the Trump administration's immigration policies. The chapter also explores the ramifications of these policies on migrant families and speculates on potential changes under a second Trump presidency.
