What changed in United States immigration policy with Donald Trump and what is still current?

In his first week in office, President Donald Trump signed 10 executive orders on immigration and issued a series of decrees to fulfill his promises on mass deportations and border security.

Some actions were immediately noticed. Others face legal resources. Some may take years to materialize, if they get to do so, but have aroused fear in immigrants communities.

Much of what Trump can do It will depend on money. Congress is expected to study additional support soon. Trump could use emergency powers To resort to the Department of Defense, as he did for the border wall in his first term.

The immigration and customs control service (ICE) said it made an average of 710 daily arrests between Thursday and Mondayin front of the daily average of 311 in a period of 12 months until last September during the presidency of Joe Biden. If that rate is maintained, the previous ICE record would exceed, which was established with Barack Obama in the White House, with an average of 636 in 2013.

The numbers shot from Sunday and included Very publicized operations like those that were carried out in Atlanta, Dallas and, above all, in Chicago.

The Trump government has highlighted the participation of other agencies in ICE operations, unlike what happened with its predecessor. The FBI, the Drug Control Administration and the Office of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, all dependent on the Justice Department, as well as the Customs Office and Border Protection, which includes the border patrol and depends on National security.

Emile Bove, the interim attached attorney general, supervised the arrests in Chicago on Sunday as a sign of the growing involvement of the Department of Justice.

Trump expanded the priorities detention a Anyone who is in the country without the relevant documentationnot only those with criminal convictions, threats to public or national security and migrants arrested on the border. Some pointed out that this was already common for ICE, at least until now.

“There is nothing unique in it,” said Andrew Arthur, a former immigration and member of the Immigration Studies Center, a group of research and party defense to restrict immigration.

He expects more measures of this type in the coming weeks and believes that Congress will approve funds to enable up to 80,000 beds, almost double the current figure. ICE needs the space to retain people while any legal procedure develops and organizes deportations.

ICE has not told how many people deported from Trump’s return to the White House, but the government has emphasized expulsion flights, including the use of military airplanes.

With Biden, the agency deported more than 270,000 people in a period of 12 months until September. It was the higher annual data in a decadedriven by the increase in deportation flights, for which military planes were not used.

In an episode that may indicate a more aggressive diplomacy towards governments that resist or deny to receive their citizens, Trump said Sunday that he would raise tariffs to Colombia by 25% after his president, Gustavo Petro, refused to allow The landing of two military aircraft with deportees. Trump paused tariff measures when his counterpart ceded.

A C-27 military transport plane landed on Monday in Guatemala with 80 deported, handcuffed and thickeledOn board. “It’s my first attempt of the year and I don’t know if I will try again because it is difficult,” said Jacobo Dueñas, 38, who was arrested Friday at the Texas border.

The new US government facilitated the ICE to carry out deportations without those affected by appearing before an immigration judge by expanding the authorization of “Accelerated expulsion” nationally for anyone in the country up to two years. The American Union of Civil Liberties resorted to rapid deportations before the courts.

The federal government eliminated a policy that prevented arrests in “sensitive places”including schools, hospitals and places of worship. He said that those who entered the country can be deported legally with a permit, a presidential authority that Biden used more than any other president.

He also threatened to punish the “sanctuary” jurisdictions that limit cooperation with federal immigration authorities.

Trump ended the use of a border application that allowed migrants to enter the country with two -year permits that gave them the possibility of working, which tens of thousands of appointments scheduled until the beginning of February of people waiting in Mexico. Almost one million people entered the United States through land steps with Mexico using CBP One.

The president also eliminated a policy that allowed more than 500,000 citizens of Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua and Venezuela to fly to the country with two -year permits if they had a financial sponsor.

Other actions will take longer to develop. Trump achieved Mexico’s approval to reinstate a distinctive policy of his first mandate, “remain in Mexico”, which demands that asylum applicants wait in the neighboring country for their appointments to appear before the US migratory courts.

The Pentagon began to deploy 1,500 active troops on the border last week, but it was not clear if they will stop performing the support work they have played with the different leaders from George W. Bush, including land and aerial surveillance, barriers construction and vehicle repair.

A law of 1878 prohibits military participation in the application of civil law, but Trump and his advisors have pointed out that he could invoke faculties of war epochs. The president said in order that the Department of Defense can help detention and transport.

Trump stopped the relocation of refugees who are investigated abroad before entering the United States to a new review, a program that already dismantled largely in his first mandate and was risen by Biden. Groups that provide temporary housing, job training and other aid indicated that the State Department told them Friday to stop their work immediately.

The Department of Justice also told the legal assistance groups that they stop working in federal programs that help to understand the complicated legislation of people in immigration courts and detention centers.

Trump announced the elimination of the automatic concession of citizens to children born on American soil, a right established in a constitutional amendment in 1868. A federal judge in Seattle has paralyzed the measure.
