The Impact of Trump 2.0 on Immigration Policy

The Trump 2.0 administration has initiated a terror regime against immigrant communities, resulting in heightened fear and anxiety among these groups. Tactics include a constant barrage of dehumanizing rhetoric surrounding migrants, which has become a cornerstone of current media coverage. Unlike during the first Trump administration, there is a lack of significant partisan opposition to these outright attacks, creating a dangerous consent within the media landscape that reinforces anti-immigrant narratives. This environment has normalized extremist immigration policies, leading to a chilling effect where the fear and uncertainty among immigrants or those seeking asylum become weapons against them.
