Deep dives
Increased Immigration Enforcement Tactics
The Trump administration has significantly enhanced immigration enforcement, emphasizing a narrative focused on removing dangerous criminals. This includes the involvement of media figures like Dr. Phil to bolster public perception and legitimize operations. However, many deportations are actually targeting individuals without violent criminal backgrounds, leading to greater fear among undocumented communities. This shift in enforcement priorities fosters an atmosphere of mistrust and anxiety, as individuals previously believed to be safe are now at risk of arrest.
