The immigration policy of the second Donald Trump administration encompasses the established immigration policies implemented by Donald Trump during his second term as president of the United States.

History

[edit]

Initial executive actions

[edit]

On January 20, 2025, Donald Trump was inaugurated as president of the United States for a second term. Within an hour, CBP One, a program developed by U.S. Customs and Border Protection to allow migrants to secure immigration appointments, was discontinued; migrants who accessed CBP One found that their appointments were canceled.[1] That evening, he signed several executive orders relating to immigration, including blocking asylum seekers from entering the U.S., declaring a national emergency at the Mexico–U.S. border, and citing a public health risk posed by migrants through a lack of "comprehensive health information".[2]

Trump also passed an executive order to ban birthright citizenship granted in the Fourteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution that was blocked by Judge John Coughenour on January 23 who declared it "blatantly unconstitutional".[3]

Policy

[edit]

Designation of cartels

[edit]

In an executive order, Trump directed the United States Department of State to designate the gangs Tren de Aragua and MS-13 as terrorist organizations, permitting the federal government to block their assets and disrupt their financial support network through Executive Order 13224, a directive that amends the International Emergency Economic Powers Act to include foreign entities involved with terrorism; the government was already authorized to impose economic sanctions on gangs. The designations allow the Department of Justice to indict individuals involved with gangs, such as drug dealers, with providing material support for terrorism, a charge that carries life imprisonment if the crime results in death.[4]

Laken Riley Act
