‘Fear is a point’: Groups for immigrants are preparing to fight Trump | News about Donald Trump
Washington, DC – Groups for immigrants’ rights said they were engaging and preparing for a long -term fight as a draft for the Donald Trump President President Plan Great immigration action takes a shape.
In a series of emergency orders during his first week on duty, Trump sought to reconsider almost every aspect of immigration to the United States.
He abolished guidelines that limit where immigration raids could take place, canceled the asylum requirements on the southern border and grounded refugees that had already been approved by the entry into the United States, as part of the broader suspension of the US refugee program.
Although numerous arrests have yet to be realized, the advocates of the immigrants’ rights on Friday said that Trump has already caused a chaos for those seeking refuge in the United States and colds the immigrant communities already in the country.
“Too expensive, cruel and chaotic words are characterized by the wave of extreme policies that Trump’s administration has launched in her efforts to expel immigrants from our country,” said Vanessa Cardenas, Executive Director of the AMERICA’S VOICE advocate, during calls with journalists.
“Chaos and fear are the essence.”
‘The power of unprecedented’
After a campaign defined by dehumanizing rhetoric about the migrants and asylum seekers, Trump laid his second oath on Monday, promising current changes in the US immigration system.
His administration has already issued more than a dozen executive commands and a change in politics by establishing a stubborn policy.
While talking to reporters on Friday, Nayna Gupta, director of the US immigration council policy, said Trump’s actions reveal ambitions outside his statement that he wanted to arrest immigrants with criminal files.
“What Trump’s commands clearly show is that they outline the current actions to hurt all immigrants: 13 million people without documents who have spent years spent life in the US, people with legal protection, asylum seekers, those with non-unnecessary visas who are already in the To our country, and those who want to legally move here, ”she said.
She said that many early administration actions “refer to unprecedented powers”. Several of them have already been challenged in court, and new legal proceedings are expected.
Policy changes were huge.
As for immigrants without documents already in the US, Trump is ready to increase the number of deportations through accelerated removal and increased cooperation with local police.
His department of Homeland Security (DHS) also removed the decade of old policy prohibiting the arrest of immigrants on “sensitive” locations, including schools, hospitals and churches. In the meantime, his Ministry of Justice ordered federal prosecutors to investigate local officials who obstruct the implementation of immigration laws.
On Friday, US media reported that Trump’s DHS also gave his agents the authority to remove individuals who were legally admitted to the country under former President Joe Biden Conditional discharge humanitarian program. The citizens of four countries would be affected – Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua and Venezuela.
Meanwhile, those who seek security at the southern border of the US face new obstacles under Trump.
As one of his first moves to duties, Trump declared a national extraordinary situation on the border and deployed troops there. The President also suspended the processing of asylum requests and canceled the CBP One CBP application for the Customs and Border Protection Agency, which was used to schedule meets for asylum.
It is estimated that the 270,000 individuals who used the CBP One saw that their meetings were canceled this week, despite the fact that they had been waiting for their terms in Mexico for weeks, if not for months.
Trump administration also ground refugees who have undergone long-term security check and prior to relocation approval, on the eve of the 90-day suspension of the United States Refugee Refugee Programs (USRAP), which should be started on Monday.
‘The whole propaganda’
While Trump has been doing similar efforts during his first term since 2017, the Gupta of the US immigration council said that the first days of Trump’s second term discovered “an even more thoughtful and more thoughtful draft to reverse the American immigration system.”
Gupta added that Trump and his advisers “clearly understand where there are options” in the current US law to test the boundaries of the problem.
Many community proponents say they are fixing For the “Mass Deportation” campaign, which Trump’s officials promised in media interviews in the coming days.
One raid in Newark, New Jersey, has already attracted the attention of the whole country. On Friday, the Mayor of Nwarka Ras Barak announced that the agents of immigration and customs services (ICE) had entered the local company without an order the day before.
He accused them of decenation and unproven individuals and American nationals and called the incident a “unheard of act”, which is a “obvious violation of” US Constitution.
“I was horrified, upset, angry that it would happen here in this country, in this country,” Baraka said.
The raid seems to be a deviation from the politics of Biden’s administration, which put a moratorium on implementing immigration measures in the workplace.
In his latest official update on Thursday, Ice said he had performed 538 arrests during the first four days of Trump administration. On average, the agency had about 310 arrests daily 2024 under Biden’s administration.
Spokeswoman for the Karolina Leavitt White House also Posted On social networks that “deportative flights” began, with photos showing a row of people boarding a military aircraft.
The critics, however, noticed that the deportation flights were weekly events under the Biden administration, and the only change under Trump was the use of military aircraft.
ua answer On the platform of social media X, Aaron Reichlin-Melnick, a senior associate in the US immigration council, has called the publication “complete propaganda”. Another imigrant activist, Thomas Cartwright, called it a “theater of absurd”.
Long -lasting fight
While advocates continue to monitor how Trump’s first commands will be conducted, the battle of their legality has already begun in the courts.
Early victory came on Thursday, when the federal judge Trump’s order to abolish citizenship by birth declared unimportant, blocking his implementation.
Legal lawsuits against Trump’s move have also been filed to expand the accelerated removal and its cancellation of the term scheduled through the CBP One application.
Speaking to journalists on Friday, Karen Tumlin, director of Justice Action Center, envisioned further challenges in the coming days.
She explained that Trump’s military deployment on the southern border, a change in politics about “sensitive” locations and his order to abolish the so -called “humanitarian probation” programs could face legal complaints.
But Tumlin added that lawsuits are not a silver bullet in the US approach to immigration.
“The most important thing that everyone needs to remember is the following: the courts are a key means of stopping damage, but we really need to listen to those who are damaged if we want to change the way we work,” Tumlin said.
Speaking for Al Jazeera, Laurie Ball Cooper, Vice -President for US Legal Programs in International Refugee Project (IRAP), also pointed to the flaws in Trump’s suspension programs for refugees of the USRAP.
The order is cited by concern for national security as part of the reasoning of the cancellation of refugee flights, despite the frequent multi -year check of those participating in the program.
“It also” partially relies on the assumption that communities in the United States are not willing or willing to accept refugees, “she said. “I don’t think that is in line with the facts on the field.”
She added that IRAP was preparing a suspension challenge.
