Trump's Executive Actions on Immigration
Donald Trump's initial executive actions as president emphasized a hardline approach to immigration policies. Key actions included declaring a national emergency at the southern border and prioritizing the construction of a border wall, which redirected national resources to border security measures. Notably, Trump canceled existing asylum programs, such as the CBP-1 mobile app that enabled migrants to apply for asylum, leading to immediate impacts on those awaiting entry. This illustrates Trump’s commitment to fulfilling campaign promises regarding immigration reform and signals a significant shift in policy direction.
