Trump's Sweeping Immigration Crackdown Sparks Legal Battles

President Donald Trump has reignited his immigration policies, declaring illegal immigration a national emergency. His moves include increasing border security, ending Biden's CBP One app, and challenging birthright citizenship. Civil rights groups, including the ACLU, are poised to contest these measures in court.

President Donald Trump launched a comprehensive immigration crackdown Monday, citing illegal immigration as a national emergency. The revamped approach includes stringent border security measures, a prohibition on asylum claims, and curtailed citizenship for children born on U.S. soil.

Through these actions, Trump aims to curb what he perceives as threats to national security, involving the U.S. military in border enforcement and revitalizing his 'remain in Mexico' policy. In parallel, the Biden-era CBP One app for legal entry collapsed, leaving many migrants in disarray.

Trump has faced fierce opposition from immigrant advocates and civil rights organizations, including the ACLU, who are preparing for legal challenges. The dispute underscores the broader societal divide over immigration policies, with Trump attributing the crisis to his predecessor's administration.
