  • The Trump administration made immigration a core campaign focus and governance issue. Accordingly, President Donald Trump started his second term with a flurry of executive orders targeting immigrant communities and immigration.

The article discusses the legal challenges facing several of the Trump administration's immigration policies. It highlights three main areas of contention: birthright citizenship, ICE raids, and asylum policies. The Trump administration's attempt to end birthright citizenship for children of undocumented immigrants is met with opposition, as it contradicts the 14th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution which grants citizenship to anyone born on U.S. soil. ICE raids, particularly those targeting family units and conducted without judicial warrants, are under scrutiny for potentially violating due process rights. Additionally, changes to asylum policies, including the "Remain in Mexico" policy and restrictions on who can apply for asylum, are being challenged in court for possibly breaching international law and U.S. asylum statutes. These policies face numerous lawsuits from civil rights groups, states, and individuals, arguing that they are not only legally dubious but also inhumane.
