President Donald Trump’s administration has implemented strict immigration policies aimed at reducing the number of migrants in the United States. One significant move was the removal of legal protection for hundreds of thousands of migrants from four countries: El Salvador, Haiti, Nicaragua, and Sudan. These individuals had been living in the U.S. under the Temporary Protected Status (TPS) program, which allowed them to stay and work legally due to unsafe conditions in their home countries. By ending TPS for these nations, the Trump administration signaled a major shift in immigration policy.
In addition, the U.S. Supreme Court recently allowed the federal government to fast-track the deportation of approximately 530,000 migrants. This decision enables immigration officials to quickly remove individuals without lengthy court hearings if they are caught within 100 miles of the border and have been in the country for less than two weeks. Critics argue that these measures undermine human rights and due process, while supporters claim they are necessary to protect national security and enforce immigration laws. These developments mark a significant escalation in the Trump administration’s efforts to tighten control over immigration and reduce the number of undocumented and temporary-status migrants in the country.
