Trump's First 100 Days: Migrants Urged to Leave Amid Sweeping Immigration Crackdown

In his first 100 days back in office, U.S. President Donald Trump has implemented a series of aggressive immigration policies, urging hundreds of thousands of migrants to leave the United States. These measures mark a significant shift from the previous administration's approach, sparking widespread debate and concern. Here are the key highlights:

 

Key Highlights

Mass Deportation Push:

 

The Trump administration has ended several Biden-era humanitarian programs, including the parole program that allowed temporary legal entry for migrants from Ukraine, Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua, and Venezuela.

 

Notices have been issued to over 900,000 migrants, urging them to leave the U.S. immediately.

 

Revocation of Legal Status:

 

Migrants who entered under the CBP One app and other temporary programs have had their legal status revoked.

 

The administration has also targeted students and workers, revoking visas for minor infractions.

 

Self-Deportation Campaign:

 

Migrants are being encouraged to self-deport, with threats of steep fines and deportation to notorious detention facilities.

 

Public Reaction:

 

The crackdown has drawn criticism from immigrant advocacy groups and some Democrats, who argue that the measures are overly harsh and disruptive.

 

A Reuters/Ipsos poll shows Americans are divided on Trump's immigration policies, with a 45% approval rating on the issue.

 

Global Implications:

 

The policies have strained relations with countries like Ukraine, as migrants face uncertainty and fear.

 

This sweeping immigration overhaul underscores the Trump administration's commitment to its campaign promises, while raising questions about its humanitarian and economic impact.
