Deep dives
Border Security Initiative
In his first days back in office, President Trump prioritized border security by signing multiple executive actions aimed at strengthening immigration enforcement. This includes resuming construction of the border wall and reinstating the Remain in Mexico policy for asylum seekers, indicating a significant shift from the previous administration's approach. Immigrations and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has ramped up efforts, conducting coordinated raids targeting undocumented immigrants with criminal records. These measures reflect Trump's commitment to his administration's hallmark immigration policies, as he seeks to address illegal immigration comprehensively.
