In the months before the elections, Donald Trump’s allies and consultants have repeatedly claimed that if he won a second term, his first day in his post will immediately overcome the efforts of any organized opposition. One of them told me: “Aclu will not know where to sue first.” Within twenty -four hours of Trump’s inauguration, twenty -two states, two cities, and a group of non -profit organizations, including the American Civil Liberties Union, filed lawsuits to prevent one of dozens of migration associated Executive orders Trump signed on Monday. The system, which is called “the protection of the meaning and value of American citizenship”, will not only end the newly born citizenship, which has been devoted in American law for more than a century; It would also deny the “US nationality concession” for the children of parents who lived in the country legally, but they had no green cards or sexual state themselves. At a press conference organized by the Federal Assembly, John Yu, a former lawyer for the Ministry of Justice, was its maximum view of the executive authority as a basis for using the Bush administration to torture during the war on terrorism, He said“I think this is the most vulnerable legally, and it will call a huge battle that can link the administration with a contract.” On Thursday, a federal judge temporarily prevented the matter, describing him as “starkly unconstitutional.”
However, when legal analysts and immigration experts rushed to analyze the language of the new orders, they had only a few sorting in a Trump -related series, as the procedures that were not understood in many cases were incomprehensible years ago or even months ago considered normal Essentially. Others were more concerned. Under an order called “clarification of the army’s role in protecting the regional integrity of the United States”, the Ministry of Defense may not simply help the federal immigration authorities provide a temporary space for migrants or perform logistical tasks on the border, as it has in the past. Instead, the president was now calling for active service forces to “a task to close the borders and maintain sovereignty, regional integrity, and the security of the United States by repelling the forms of invasion, including illegal mass migration.” Specifically, the request calls for a new unified plan in ten days. “This is likely to take matters to another level,” Elizabeth Joytin, a national security expert at the Brennan Center for Justice, told me. “It seems at least thinking of military operations on the border. It is completely unexpected and outrageous.”
A major topic in all immigration orders in Trump is to reformulate immigration as a form of “invasion”. As a piece of political discourse, the word has become a light historical. But, as a legal concept, in the world of these executive orders, it leads to a response that transcends the broad powers of the president to the Immigration Administration. Trump and President Joe Biden sought to ban the entry of asylum seekers through a wide reading of the Immigration and Nationality Law, which is the main basic system that covers the Federal Immigration Law. These new orders aim to throw the National Air Force alongside Trump to search for asylum in the constitution as a president defending his country from a foreign threat. “He has entered into a somewhat unlimited legal area by calling the constitution to replace the entire Ena and create a wide implementation of people and the government and non -actors that may have implemented this supposed invasion,” Andrea Flores, a former white, the parliament official and border expert told me .
Many of these orders enhance the imagination that forms mass migration is a kind of war. Currently, after the following months of the number of migrants decreased on the border, the government is arresting fewer people than in the last months of Trump’s first state. Even in late 2023, when there was a legitimate crisis, with two hundred and fifty thousand people who were arrested within the borders of the border in December alone, the idea that the country was in the midst of an enemy foreign acquisition was ridiculous. Other orders are appointed on Trump’s “Cartitant” day in Mexico, as well as Treen de Aragoa and MS-13, and they are sticks linked respectively to Venezuela and El Salvador, as “foreign terrorist organizations”. Cartes “act as semi -governmental entities, control almost all aspects of society,” according to the system. Other gangs “are very violent, evil, and threaten the stability of the international system.” Most of these groups, especially Mexican cartoons, participate in drug trafficking and human trafficking, but described them as terrorists that expand the scope of management enforcement options. In terms of disclosure, the matter of caramel and gangs refers to the law of foreign enemies, which is the remains of foreign and deadly laws of 1798. Attack; He can then detain and deport the permanent legal population and others who are legally here if they are from countries that are considered “enemies” for the United States government.
Trump and his main migration advisor, Stephen Miller, threatened to use the law of foreign enemies as well as the rebellion law, which will work to employ the army in preparing local protest; On these executive orders, Trump does not call for either the act officially, but it shows that they are subject to serious consideration. In one matter, internal security, justice and state departments are required to make preparations for its potential use of the Law of Foreign Enemies; Elsewhere, the Ministry of National Security and the Ministry of Defense instructs recommendations on the rebellion law. “Some executive orders outside the base either on the law or on practical implementation to the extent that you must be interpreted as correspondence data,” told me two air. “Since the president has a constitutional authority inherent in repelling sudden attacks or invasions, he is supposed to note that this is a military operation rather than law enforcement. The problem is that illegal immigration does not constitute” invasion “as a legal issue.”
But even the first day that has been widespread will have a profound impact. One of them was the declaration of “national emergency” on the border, which Trump also made in 2019, after Congress refused to fit more money for his border wall. Now, he will be able to announce the liberalization of construction financing while recruiting the forces to help immigration authorities. By Wednesday, the Pentagon announced that it was sending fifteen hundred soldiers to the border “to address the full group of threats set by the president.” It was not equally surprising that Trump would stop the American refugee program, which was rebuilt the Biden administration after its dismantling during the first period of Trump. More than ten thousand refugees have been cleared to travel to the United States for resettlement, including Sixteen hundred Afghans Those who flee from their country, mainly due to the previous relations with the American forces, were left oblivious. Trump also canceled a program that started the Biden program, which relied on the president Conditional release authorities To manage the entry of more than half a million people from Venezuela, Haiti, Cuba and Nicaragua. Almost every two years, an additional asylum seeker managed to schedule dates in entry ports along the border between the United States and Mexico through a government application called CBP One. Trump has canceled the application, hanging thousands of people who were waiting in northern Mexico. The father of a family of three individuals, who were stuck in Siodad Khuraiz, He said Arielis Hernandez, from Washington mail“After all we did and went to get here. If I only have an appointment for three hours.”
While Trump was eliminating the policies of the Biden era, he was also restoring others from his first term. The protocols of immigrant protection, which is usually called in Mexico, which forced tens of thousands of asylum seekers to wait indefinitely in northern Mexico, in its place, as it is a form of severe auditing that aims to prevent visas and other forms of entry for migrants From some countries. It appeared again from the first seasons of Trump’s first period, which had a little or never – such as non -citizens and government line for victims of crimes committed by immigrants. However, this time, measures such as the travel ban have been replaced with more methodological reviews and preparatory measures that could serve as the sects of these policies with a more solid swing. I asked a senior assistant Congress that was not surprising. The person replied, “The fact that they are behaving with the country’s ban.”
During the signing of these orders, four high -ranking professional officials were expelled in the Executive Office for the Immigration Review, the best migration court in the country, which is running out of the Ministry of Justice. Tom Gotz, the supreme lawyer at the Ministry of National Security in the Biden Administration, said, said Tom Gotz, the supreme lawyer at the Ministry of National Security in the Biden Administration, said, Times It was “one bloodbath on the first day”. The new administration is already removing the civil service employees seen as obstacles in front of the Trump’s first agenda.
In the days before the opening, amid rumors about the mass arrests in democratic cities throughout the country, people were at home in fear, like them like them king At the beginning of 2017. This time the expectations are worse, because of the fact that Trump has successfully carried a promise to carry out mass deportations. Reports on the expected operations in Chicago, feed it partially Through the statements made by the members of the incoming administration, it led to a decrease in fifty percent in traffic in one of the most retail corridors in the city, according to the head of the local Chamber of Commerce. “It will be disastrous,” I was told Bloomberg. “If the raids occur and people are very afraid of going out, it will be an effect that will last for years.”
