The immigration policy of the second Trump administration encompasses the established immigration policies implemented by U.S. President Donald Trump during his second term.

History

[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 signed Executive Order 14610, which attempted to end birthright citizenship for children of unauthorized immigrants as well as immigrants legally but temporarily present in the United States. The executive order has been challenged with at least nine lawsuits on constitutional grounds (related to the 14th Amendment), and as of February 2025, two federal judges have issued preliminary injunctions blocking its implementation and enforcement nationwide.[3][4]

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.[5]

Laken Riley Act

On January 29, 2025, Trump signed the Laken Riley Act into law, the first legislation of Trump's second term. The act enables the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to detain immigrants without legal status who are involved in certain kinds of crimes, it also enables states to sue DHS if it allegedly fails to enforce immigration laws.[6][7]

Mass deportation of immigrants

[edit]
Main article: Deportation in the second presidency of Donald Trump
See also: Deportation of Indian nationals under Donald Trump

After his reelection, Trump appointed Tom Homan to become the oncoming "border czar" and direct Immigration & Customs Enforcement (ICE) raids across the U.S.[8], including major cities which reside large immigrant communities. The raids targeted local communities, including private spaces such as schools, places of worship, etc.[9] The raids targeted asylum seekers who were residing legally but temporarily.

Trump designated deportees to be deported on flight via military aircraft, with some deportees being reported to have been in held on shackles whilst on flight.[10] Many of the immigrants were deported without due process.[11]

The influx of mass deportations resulted in families and communities being disrupted. Policies such as "Remain in Mexico" forced asylum seekers to wait in perilous conditions, potentially exposing them to violence. Additionally, changes to public charge rules deterred low-income immigrants from accessing public benefits, even when eligible, due to fears of jeopardizing their immigration status. These measures contributed to a climate of fear and uncertainty among immigrant communities.

On March 14, 2025, United States Attorney General Pam Bondi issued a directive allowing law enforcement officials to enter the homes of migrants without warrants.[12][13]

On March 22, Trump asked Bondi to retaliate against attorneys opposing the deportations, for what he called "frivolous, unreasonable and vexatious litigation".[11]

Use of Guantanamo Bay

[edit]
Further information: Guantanamo Migrant Operations Center

On January 29, 2025, Trump ordered the preparation of the Guantanamo Bay detention camp to house tens of thousands of migrants.[25]

Within a month, hundreds of migrants had been transferred to Guantanamo. Most of them were swiftly transferred elsewhere, including 177 Venezuelans who arrived in Venezuela on February 20 after having been held at Guantanamo.[26]

Use of El Salvador

[edit]

The Trump administration affirmed a deal with Nayib Bukele's government to permit deportees to be held in El Salvador's Terrorism Confinement Center (CECOT), notorious for harsh conditions, at a cost of $6 million per year.[27][28] In March 2025, the Trump administration invoked the Alien Enemies Act of 1798 and deported around 250 people, alleged by the Trump administration to be members of Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua, to El Salvador, where they were imprisoned in CECOT.[27][29] At the time of the deportations, the Trump administration did not identify the accused and did not reveal evidence of the accused being Venezuelan gang members or having committed crimes in the United States.[27]

The American Civil Liberties Union and Democracy Forward sued the Trump administration, challenging the legality of using the Alien Enemies Act when the country is not in desperate conditions, including at time of war.[30] The administration used two planes to deport the accused, despite Chief Judge James Boasberg of the United States District Court for the District of Columbia issuing a temporary restraining order against deporting foreigners using the act. Boasberg also verbally ordered planes containing such foreigners to return to the United States.[31] Trump's "border czar" Tom Homan said that the Trump administration completed the deportations despite the court order, because Boasberg's order was made when the planes were above international waters after departing the United States; Homan also declared regarding deportations: "Another flight every day. [...] We are not stopping. I don't care what the judges think."[32] White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said that Boasberg's order "had no lawful basis [...] A single judge in a single city cannot direct the movements of an aircraft carrier".[29] Leavitt also expressed doubts about "whether a verbal order carries the same weight as a written order", while the Trump administration argued in court that "an oral directive is not enforceable as an injunction".[33][34]

The administration has admitted that "many" of those who had been deported did not have criminal records in the US.[35] Bloomberg estimated that about 90% of the deported migrants had no criminal record.[36]

The administration acknowledged that one of the deportees, Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia, had been deported due to an "administrative error".[37] The Supreme Court ruled that his deportation was illegal and ordered to "facilitate" his return.[38] On April 14, 2025, the administration changed its position, stating that the deportation of Abrego Garcia was not a mistake. Both Trump and El Salvador's President Bukele said they could not unilaterally bring him back. Trump accused opponents of wanting to release criminals.[38] Trump also evoked a desire to widen the deportation toward El Salvador for "criminal" US citizens, asking Bukele to build five more prisons for Americans.[39]

Use of Costa Rica

[edit]
Further information: Temporary Migrant Care Center

In February 2025, the Costa Rican government agreed to receive 200 migrants renditioned from the United States and to detain them at the Temporary Migrant Care Center, known by its Spanish acronym CATEM, pending their repatriation. Costa Rican authorities have made attempts to reestablish custody over migrants who have escaped from CATEM, though others were permitted to leave the facility after formally seeking asylum in Costa Rica.[40]

Trump gold card

[edit]
Further information: Immigrant investor programs § United States

A "Trump Gold Card" is a planned residency permit that provides investors with a path to residency and citizenship if they commit at least $5 million to projects in the US. A key difference from the EB5 program, the United States' current path for investors to gain residency that the Gold Card intends to replace, is that gold card holders are not liable for US federal income tax on income earned outside the US. Aside from constitutional questions on executive authority for this kind of change to immigration and tax law without express Congressional approval, it is unclear what would happen to the US federal taxability of a gold card holder's non-US income, should the gold card holder become a US citizen at some point in time.

Activist deportations

[edit]
Main article: Activist deportations in the second Trump presidency

In response of these policies by the Trump administration, many activists and protestors began protesting on streets in major cities across the U.S. against mass-deportations and immigration policy, including Los Angeles and New York City, which resides large immigrant communities.[41][42] In spite of this, the Trump administration increasingly targeted legal immigrants, tourists, and students with green cards who expressed criticism of his policies or engaged in pro-Palestinian advocacy.[43] The government has deported or attempted to deport a number of pro-Palestinian activists whom it accuses of supporting terrorists. These include Mahmoud Khalil, Rasha Alawieh, Badar Khan Suri,[44] and Momodou Taal.[45]

Discussion regarding deportation of U.S. citizens

[edit]
See also: Deportation of Kilmar Abrego Garcia § Legal implications regarding U.S. Citizens

Trump has stated "his administration is trying to find 'legal' ways to ship U.S. citizens" to CECOT. [46][47][48] During President Bukele's White House visit where the two discussed Abrego Garcia, Trump told Bukele "Home-growns are next. The home-growns. You gotta build about five more places. It’s not big enough."[49][50]

The issue was first raised when U.S. and El Salvador formed an agreement to house people of any nationality in CECOT. Bukele extended the offer to convicted criminals serving their sentence in the United States who are U.S. citizens or legal residents. He confirmed the statement on X, saying he offered the U.S. "the opportunity to outsource part of its prison system".[51] The U.S. government cannot deport American citizens,[52] and Secretary of State Rubio said that "Obviously we'll have to study it on our end. There are obviously legalities involved. We have a Constitution, we have all sorts of things,"[53] while calling it "a very generous offer," noting "No one's ever made an offer like that" and that it would cost a fraction of imprisoning criminals in the U.S.[46] He said that "obviously the administration will have to make a decision."[52]

Trump said he was looking into whether he could move forward with the offer, telling reporters "I'm just saying if we had a legal right to do it, I would do it in a heartbeat" and "I don't know if we do or not, we're looking at that right now."[46][54] Asked about the cost of incarcerating American prisoners in other countries, Trump said it would be a "small fee compared to what we pay to private prisons," that several countries had already agreed to host American prisoners, and that "It's no different than a prison system except it would be less expensive and it would be a great deterrent."[54] Elon Musk called the proposal a "Great idea!!" on X.[51] Rubio in his remarks specified that this would apply to dangerous criminals; Politico noted that meanwhile, Bukele said on X that El Salvador would gladly take U.S. ex-senator Bob Menendez, who was serving an 11-year prison sentence for bribery but who was not a violent criminal.[54]

Trump later suggested on Truth Social that the "sick terrorist thugs" responsible for the recent vandalism of Tesla property could be sent to Salvadoran prisons, "which have become so recently famous for such lovely conditions".[55] Ahead of Bukele's White House visit, Trump confirmed that they would discuss sending Americans to El Salvador's prisons,[56] giving his stance as "I love it" and that he would be honored, but that he'd have to see what the law says, "but I can't imagine the law would say anything different... If they can house these horrible criminals for a lot less money than it costs us, I'm all for it."[48]

Politico cited Insha Rahman, vice president of advocacy in the Vera Institute of Justice, as saying there's no precedent to send U.S. citizens outside the country to serve sentences in other countries; "It is so beyond the pale of anything contemplated by the Constitution or due process or the criminal courts." Lauren-Brooke Eisen, the senior director of the justice program at the Brennan Center for Justice, told Politico in a statement that the Eighth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution prohibits cruel and unusual punishments such as excessive sentences or inhumane prison conditions, and that deporting Americans would be illegal under the First Step Act, which requires that the federal government send those convicted of federal crimes to "a facility as close as practicable to the prisoner's primary residence, and to the extent practicable, in a facility within 500 driving miles of that residence".[47]

The BBC noted that while U.S. citizens enjoy legal protection from deportation, it is possible for naturalized citizens to be denaturalized. This tends to happen when the citizenship was fraudulently obtained, but citizens suspected of ties to criminal gangs or terrorist organizations, such as Tren de Aragua or MS-13, could, in theory, be stripped of citizenship. They would then be at risk of deportation, although such a move would need a formal court process. Citizens born in the U.S. cannot be denaturalized.[57]

Incoming policies

[edit]

Travel ban

[edit]
Main article: Trump travel ban
See also: Executive Order 13769 and Executive Order 13780

On January 20, 2025, President Donald Trump signed Executive Order 14161 titled “Protecting the United States from Foreign Terrorists and Other National Security and Public Safety Threats.” The order seeks to protect Americans “from aliens who intend to commit terrorist attacks, threaten [U.S.] national security, espouse hateful ideologies, or otherwise exploit immigration laws for malevolent purposes.” To achieve this goal, the order calls for enhanced vetting and screening measures for all foreign nationals seeking to enter or already present in the United States since January 20, 2021. It directs federal agencies a 60-day period to review, recommend, and implement necessary updates to existing procedures to ensure national security and public safety.[58]

In doing so, the order also seeks to identify deficiencies in the information needed to assess whether nationals of particular countries pose a security threat, using a standardized risk assessment baseline. If a foreign government fails to provide adequate information, or if other risk factors are present, the administration may impose entry restrictions and take steps to remove individuals already in the country. The order may reinstate and expand upon earlier directives issued during Trump’s first term, commonly referred to as the “travel ban.”[59]

List of countries under proposed travel ban

[edit]

On March 14, 2025, The New York Times reported that the Trump administration released a draft list of 43 countries that could be affected under EO 14161. It lists three tiers of countries (red, orange and yellow) whose citizens may face restrictions on entering the United States.[60]
