The Trump administration's crackdown on illegal immigration has pushed asylum-seekers in Mexico to new extremes. The administration's focus on deportation has resulted in increased apprehension and detention of migrants, particularly at the U.S.-Mexico border. The use of military aircraft to transport migrants back to Central America has been met with criticism, with some calling it a violation of human rights.
Less than a week into his presidency, Donald Trump's administration touted its deportation efforts on Friday and unveiled new rules that make it easier to expel people from the United States. These actions are part of a series of measures aimed at fulfilling campaign promises to combat illegal immigration. As the Trump administration demonstrated its latest show of force, waves of concern rippled through parts of the country.
Officials in Newark, New Jersey, criticized what they described as illegal arrests by immigration agents. The Trump administration cited U.S. military aircraft carrying migrants and landing in Central America as the start of deportations, and announced that ICE had made 538 arrests on Thursday alone. They also deployed U.S. soldiers and Marines to the Mexican border and suspended long-standing regulations that had restricted applying immigration laws near schools and churches. Many of ICE's actions were not unusual. There were similar deportation flights during the Joe Biden administration, although not using military aircraft. ICE averaged 311 daily arrests in the fiscal year that ended on September 30
