The Trump administration’s immigration crackdown comes as a result of President Trump’s 2024 campaign promise to curb illegal immigration, which flourished under the Biden administration. On his first day back in office, President Trump issued ten executive orders aimed at overhauling U.S. immigration law and policy.
The executive orders included sealing the U.S. asylum system for those without proper documents, discharging the military to deport immigration violators, and tasking ICE with removing migrants. Since President Trump’s inauguration, armed federal immigration agents have swept cities in the first deportation raids, resulting in the removal and return of 7,300 illegal aliens.
