Trump's Return and Immediate Actions
Donald Trump's return to the presidency marks a decisive shift in U.S. policy, particularly concerning immigration and executive orders. He has prioritized a crackdown on illegal immigration, declaring it a national emergency at the U.S.-Mexico border. This includes the immediate shutting down of a program that allowed migrants to request asylum legally, leaving many turned away at border crossings. Trump's actions, such as pardoning over 1,500 individuals involved in the January 6 riots, highlight the contentious legal landscape and set the stage for significant changes in enforcement and immigration policy.
