Trump’s immigration crackdown also targets legal pathways to enter US

Thousands left hopeless as new administration has been relentlessly and systematically dismantling safety nets

Mass deportation – at least in theory – is apparently popular among the American people.

So over and over again, Trump and his allies have loudly touted their plans to detain and deport undocumented immigrants, initially focusing on those with criminal records. In doing so, they’ve redirected the US public’s attention toward their “shock and awe” tactics that led to thousands of arrests across the country in less than a week.
