President Trump has vowed to clamp down on immigration and undo Biden-era policies that he said were too permissive and blamed for allowing a large influx of undocumented immigrants. Here’s what we know about his policy changes.
It’s been six months since Nedi, a 35-year-old Venezuelan mother of two, set off on a treacherous journey through the Darien Gap to get to the United States. With the hope of eventually settling in Miami, Nedi and her family arrived in San Diego eleven days ago after successfully crossing into the US with the help of the CBPOne app –– a tool that allows migrants to share information and plan interviews with immigration authorities in advance of reaching the US border. But on Monday, as President Donald Trump was sworn into office, US Customs and Border Protection announced CBPOne would lose its scheduling functionality and all future asylum appointments would be cancelled. This has left thousands of migrants –– some of whom helped Nedi get to where she is –– anxious and in limbo. “I left behind friends and family who didn’t make it, and we don’t know what will happen,” she told CNN. “We’re worried about not being able to stay, about being sent back.” Since running for re-election, Trump has vowed to clamp down on immigration and undo Biden-era policies that he said were too permissive and blamed for allowing a large influx of undocumented immigrants.
