Deep dives
Immigration Crackdown Targets Legal Migrants
The Trump administration has initiated a crackdown on more than half a million legal migrants from countries like Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua, and Venezuela, who were previously protected under a Biden-era sponsorship program. This program was designed to reduce illegal border crossings by allowing for better vetting of individuals seeking to enter the U.S. However, critics argue that the administration has cited fraud and job competition as reasons for this revocation, putting these migrants at risk of deportation. They must now leave the country within 30 days, and their home nations are reportedly cooperating with this enforcement.
