Donald Trump made immigration one of his signature issues in each of the past 3 elections. 
This page examines the immigration policies of his Administration and what immigrants can do to protect themselves from anti-immigration policies promulgated by the White House.
Second Term (Starts January 20, 2025)
He has promised mass deportations starting in January 2025.
We will be reporting on his policies on a daily basis, both on deportations and in limiting legal immigration to the U.S.
First Term (2017-2021)
In 2016, he promised to build a wall on our southern border and have Mexico pay for it. He called Mexicans criminals and rapists (and said that there were some good people too). He also proposed that Muslims be banned from entering the US.
During his first week in office in 2017, he issued 3 executive orders: (1) to build a wall; (2) to end federal funding of sanctuary cities; and (3) to halt the resettlement of refugees in the US and to suspend immigration from 7 countries in the Middle East.
Since he became President in January 2017, immigration has been a hot topic in the press. Attorney Shusterman has been featured as an authority on the ABA Journal, Computerworld, the New York Times and dozens of other media outlets since the beginning of the year.
