Six Months Of Trump: What’s Happened And Who’s Harmed

The Trump administration’s first six months back in office represent the most extreme and sweeping immigration crackdown in modern U.S. history. The Trump agenda goes far beyond shifts in policy: it is wielding executive authority on immigration to threaten our democracy, weaponize government power, and create a maelstrom of fear and chaos.

The American Immigration Council’s report “Mass Deportation: Analyzing the Trump Administration’s Attacks on Immigrants, Democracy and America” discusses what the immigration system looks like six months into the second Trump administration: who we are letting in (and excluding), how we are treating the immigrants already here, and who we are forcing to leave and how. Report co-authors Nayna Gupta and Dara Lind will address these questions, and Kaelyn, one of the four affected people profiled in the report, will discuss her experience as the partner of a man facing potential removal to El Salvador under the Alien Enemies Act.
