The Impact of Trump’s Immigration Policies

This chapter examines the aggressive immigration strategies employed by the Trump administration, particularly by ICE, in targeting undocumented immigrants in vulnerable communities. It raises ethical concerns about the tactics used, such as the arrest of day laborers and the targeting of individuals attending court, and critiques the prioritization of deportation over civil rights. Through specific case studies, the chapter highlights the negative consequences of these policies on both immigrants and American citizens, emphasizing a lack of accountability in Congress regarding immigration reform.
