Donald Trump’s immigration policies have long been central to his political brand, and his return to the White House in 2024 has intensified his focus on aggressive enforcement. The measures introduced under his administration aim to curb illegal immigration, increase deportations, and strengthen border security. However, these policies have sparked intense debate, as they raise legal, ethical, economic, and political concerns. Supporters believe they uphold national security and economic fairness, while critics warn of human rights violations, economic instability, and legal challenges.

This episode was hosted by Timothy Cheng. The script was written and researched by Mai Nguyen. The Research for Change podcast series is produced by Jenna Lipman and Mai Nguyen.
