Trump's return to White House sets stage for far-reaching immigration crackdown
바카라 게임 웹사이트Build the Wall바카라 게임 웹사이트 was Donald Trump's rally cry in 2016, and he acted on his promise by tapping military budgets for hundreds of miles of border wall with Mexico. 바카라 게임 웹사이트Mass Deportation바카라 게임 웹사이트 was the buzzword that energized supporters for his White House bid in 2024.
Trump바카라 게임 웹사이트s victory sets the stage for a swift crackdown after an showed the president-elect바카라 게임 웹사이트s supporters were largely focused on immigration and inflation 바카라 게임 웹사이트 issues the Republican has been hammering throughout his campaign.
How and when Trump's actions on immigration will take shape is uncertain.
While Trump and his advisers have offered outlines, many questions remain about how they would deport anywhere close to the 11 million people estimated to be in the country illegally. How would immigrants be identified? Where would they be detained? What if their countries refuse to take them back? Where would Trump find money and trained officers to carry out their deportation?
Trump has said he would invoke the Alien Enemies Act, a rarely used 1798 law that allows the president to deport any noncitizen from a country the U.S. is at war with. He has spoken about deploying the National Guard, which can be activated on orders from a governor. Stephen Miller, a top Trump adviser, has said troops under sympathetic Republican governors would send troops to nearby states that refuse to participate.
Trump, who repeatedly referred to immigrants 바카라 게임 웹사이트poisoning the blood바카라 게임 웹사이트 of the United States, has stricken fear in immigrant communities with words alone.
Julie Moreno, a U.S. citizen who has been married for seven years to a Mexican man who is in the country illegally, is adjusting to the idea that she may have to live separately from her husband, who came to the United States in 2004. She can move to Mexico from New Jersey but it would be nearly impossible to keep running her business importing boxing gloves.
바카라 게임 웹사이트I don바카라 게임 웹사이트t have words yet, too many feelings,바카라 게임 웹사이트 Moreno said, her voice breaking as she spoke Wednesday of Trump's victory. 바카라 게임 웹사이트I am very scared for my husband바카라 게임 웹사이트s safety. 바카라 게임 웹사이트 If they detain him, what is going to happen?바카라 게임 웹사이트
Moreno's husband, Neftali Juarez, ran a construction business and feels he has contributed to the country, paying taxes and providing employment through his company.
"Unfortunately, the sentiment of the people who voted is different,바카라 게임 웹사이트 he said. 바카라 게임 웹사이트I feel horrible losing my wife.바카라 게임 웹사이트
Some policy experts expect Trump바카라 게임 웹사이트s first immigration moves to be at the border. He may pressure Mexico to keep blocking migrants from reaching the U.S. border as it has since December. He may lean on Mexico to reinstate a Trump-era policy that made asylum-seekers wait in Mexico for hearings in U.S. immigration court.
Andrew Arthur, a fellow at the Center for Immigration Studies, which supports immigration restrictions, highlighted campaign remarks by Vice President-elect JD Vance that deporting millions would be done one step at a time, not all at once.
바카라 게임 웹사이트You바카라 게임 웹사이트re not talking about a dragnet,바카라 게임 웹사이트 Arthur, a former immigration judge, told The Associated Press. 바카라 게임 웹사이트There바카라 게임 웹사이트s no way you could do it. The first thing you have to do is seal the border and then you can address the interior. All of this is going to be guided by the resources you have available.바카라 게임 웹사이트
Elena, a 46-year-old Nicaraguan who has been living in the United States illegally for 25 years, couldn바카라 게임 웹사이트t sleep after Trump's victory, crying about what to do if she and her husband, 50, are deported. They have two adult daughters, both U.S. citizens, who have had stomach pain and respiratory problems from anxiety about the election.
바카라 게임 웹사이트It is so difficult for me to uproot myself from the country that I have seen as my home,바카라 게임 웹사이트 said Elena, who lives in South Florida and gave only her first name for fear of being deported. 바카라 게임 웹사이트I have made my roots here and it is difficult to have to abandon everything to start over.바카라 게임 웹사이트
Advocates are looking at where deportation arrests might take place and are watching especially closely to see if authorities adhere to a longstanding policy of avoiding schools, hospitals, places of worship and disaster relief centers, said Heidi Altman, federal advocacy director for the National Immigration Law Center바카라 게임 웹사이트s Immigrant Justice Fund.
바카라 게임 웹사이트We're taking it very seriously,바카라 게임 웹사이트 said Altman. 바카라 게임 웹사이트We all have to have our eyes wide open to the fact that this isn't 2016. Trump and Stephen Miller learned a lot from their first administration. The courts look very different than they did four years ago.바카라 게임 웹사이트
Trump is expected to resume other far-reaching policies from his first term and jettison key Biden moves. These include:
바카라 게임 웹사이트Trump has harshly criticized Biden policies to create and expand legal pathways to entry, including an online app called CBP One under which nearly 1 million people have entered at land crossings with Mexico since January 2023. Another policy has allowed more than 500,000 Cubans, Haitians, Nicaraguans and Venezuelans to fly into the country with financial sponsors.
바카라 게임 웹사이트 Trump slashed the number of refugees screened abroad by the United Nations and State Department for settlement in the U.S. to its lowest level since Congress established the program in 1980. establishing an annual cap of 125,000, up from 18,000 under Trump.
바카라 게임 웹사이트Trump sought to end the Obama-era program, which shielded people who came to the U.S. as young children from deportation. A lawsuit by Republican governors that has seemed headed for the Supreme Court challenges DACA. For now, hundreds of thousands of DACA recipients may renew their status but new applications aren't accepted.
바카라 게임 웹사이트Trump dramatically curtailed the use of Temporary Protected Status, created under a 1990 law to allow people already in the United States to stay if their homelands are deemed unsafe. Biden sharply expanded use of TPS, including to hundreds of thousands of and
Maribel Hernandez, a Venezuelan on TPS that allows her to stay in the United States until April 2025, burst into tears as her 2-year-old son slept in a stroller outside New York's Roosevelt Hotel as migrants discussed election fallout Wednesday.
바카라 게임 웹사이트Imagine if they end it,바카라 게임 웹사이트 she said.
