Trump's orders subverted immigrants. What are the legal routes?

On the first day of his tenure, President Trump promised the largest deportation efforts in American history. He issued a series of dramatic execution orders and other policy changes. These changes will reshape the country's immigration system and live in the country, and live in the country and live in We are immigrants, especially immigrants without documents.

In the United States, it is estimated that there are 13 million to 15 million certified immigrants, including more than 2.5 million in California.

Among them, people who illegally cross the border, people who exceed visas and those who ask for shelter. It does not include people who enter the country according to various temporary humanitarian plans, or have obtained a temporary protection position, which gives people the right to temporarily live and work in the United States due to the disaster or conflict of their motherland.

However, due to other actions adopted by the Trump administration, many people who use these legal channels to the United States may also be deported.

What did the Trump administration do?

Trump has signed a number of administrative orders for immigrants. As the Immigration Policy Research Institute has pointed out, this is one of the three things: the legal way to enter the United States has been restricted, strengthening the efforts of law enforcement to seal the United States -Sexica border may promote the scope of active progress and illegally deported people living in the United States. Some orders have been challenged in court, and the supporters say that other orders may be fast.

One of the most important orders:

• The president announced the “national emergency situation” on the southern border, which will enable him to deploy the army there.
• He moved to the end of the citizen of maternity rights. For a long time, this is the guarantee of the 14th amendment. The United States Citizens' Liberty Alliance and more than 20 states, including California, filed a lawsuit, arguing that the order was unconstitutional. A federal judge temporarily stopped the order in one of the rulings issued in one of the cases on January 23, but the legal challenge was proposed.
• As of January 27, he suspended the refugee enrollment plan for at least 90 days. In the last fiscal year, the United States reorganized more than 100,000 refugees, the highest number in 30 years.

Has the new government done other things that affect immigration?

Yes. In major actions:

• Trump took a few hours after taking office, his new government closed a mobile application of CBP. Biden's administration has expanded the use of CBP One to reduce the process of application asylum. Once immigrants arrive in Mexican soil, they can use the application to arrange dating at legal ports in the legal entry to propose shelters for their bids and provide biographies for screening.
• In related actions, the government has granted immigration and customs law enforcement officers to quickly expel about 1.4 million immigrants. They have been awarded for up to two years of US law entry through two BIDEN era plans: an immigrant plan entered through CBP and waiting for During the asylum hearing, he was awarded the parole position; and immigrants from Cuba, Nicaragua, Venezuela, and Haiti, they received temporary parole when they seemed to be sheltered.
• The government said in a notice issued on January 21 that it will authorize the immigration authorities to illegally expel the country's rapid deportation of the country without judicial hearing. Aclu Prosecution Try to stop the plan.
• The Ministry of Land and Security already exists The long -term guidance policy was abolished Immigration agents are prohibited from arrested “sensitive” locations such as schools, hospitals and churches.
• Benjamine Huffman, the acting secretary of the Ministry of Land and Safety, announced that the illegal immigration on the southern border was influxed in large scale “, and the department authorized the department to perform immigration law enforcement on behalf of the state and local law enforcement officers.
• Ice has begun Propagate immigration raid In many cities, including New York and Chicago. The government said it was a non -evidence -free person with criminal records. However, in a briefing this week, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said that the government regarded all unlicensed immigrants as criminal because they violated the immigration law.

So, what is the number? Since Trump took office, has more people expelled from the country?

The ICE authorities have been publishing daily numbers of the agency's X account this week, quoting the number of unlicensed immigrants, including January 27 and January 28, 19969. Essence During the last year of Biden, the number of arrests was about 350 per week.

It is too early to evaluate the deportation of the country. Deporting the country, not withdrawal, is the legal procedure that moves through the court. On January 27, Ice posted on X: “In one week, law enforcement officers withdrew and returned 7,300 illegal foreigners.”

If this speed continues and ICE evacuate 7,300 immigrants for one year a week, it will cause it to be forced to evacuate 350,000. The number will exceed the removal of space during the dosing period of Biden. But during the Obama administration, the ICE demolition rate reached nearly 410,000 during the 2012 fiscal year. Immigration Policy Research InstituteAt the same time, it is preferred to consider people who have no criminal records in the US community.

What is the current way of legal immigration?

• People with a close family member can still apply. However, if the Trump administration's resurrection of travel ban is prohibited from entering the United States, this may limit the application of certain ethnic groups.
• Those who are considered valuable skills can apply for temporary or permanent employment visas, although in many cases, they need to wait for this visa for many years. Employers can apply for a temporary work visa from foreign countries. According to this number, the permanent working visa is 140,000 per year, including the number of immigrants and qualified spouses and unmarried children. American Immigration CommissionEssence
• Immigrants from countries with low immigration rate are eligible to get green cards.
• Visa can still be used to adopt children from another country.

What happened to the dreamer?

When Trump tried to revoke the arrival of children or DACA during the first government administration, he had not touched the plan this time.

The Obama's plan was awarded the renewable work permit, and temporarily granted the deported people to some people who came to the United States as children. As of September, it is estimated that 537,730 people have DACA protection, and most of them come from Mexico. Immigration Policy Research InstituteEssence

The legitimacy of the plan is still in the federal court.

What is an asylum policy, why is the Trump government targeting them?

No clear asylum policy definition. The term is usually suitable for restricting policies that restrict state and local officials and federal authorities on civil immigration law enforcement duties.

California's 2017 asylum law “California Value Law” prohibits state and local law enforcement agencies from investigating for immigration law enforcement, interrogation and arrest of people. The law does not prevent the federal authorities from performing these law enforcement duties in California. It does allow local police to cooperate with federal immigration officials in limited circumstances, including immigrants involving some of the felony and minor crimes involved.

Under the leadership of Los Angeles Shelter city lawIn order to immigrate to law enforcement, urban employees and urban property shall not be used for “investigation, involved, arrest, transfer or detain anyone.” There are exceptions to investigate law enforcement officers in serious crimes. La Unified asylum policy It is forbidden to cooperate voluntarily, including sharing information about student immigration status.

The administrative order issued by Trump on the first day of his office threatens federal funds to interfere with federal law enforcement operations. At the same time, the memorandum of the Ministry of Justice said that state and local officials can be investigated and prosecuted because they do not follow Trump's suppression of immigration law enforcement.

California. General Rob Bonta called the announcement as “a terrorist strategy” and vowed to act as a legal action, “if the Trump administration's vague threat turned to illegal action.”

If the immigration authorities are arrested on a large scale, do the United States have space to detain all immigrants?

This depends on several factors.

In the 2025 fiscal year, nearly 40,000 people were locked in ice detention centers per day. Lawyer of ACLU National Prison Project.

Obviously, the government intends to expand the ice detention. On Wednesday, Trump instructed his government to start using the U.S. Naval Base located in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, which has 30,000 beds to detain “high priority” immigrants. The military also allows ice to be detained in the Barkley Space Force Base in Colorado. Multiple news reportsEssence

ICE operates six detention centers in California, which can accommodate nearly 7,200 detainees and forced expansion. Agent officials are looking for space for two hours in the wild office in the San Francisco area. It is first reported by Calmatters.

According to the federal documents obtained by Calmatters, the agency also hopes to improve its detention capabilities in Arizona, New Mexico, Washington and Oregon.

Ice facilities are largely operated by private prison companies and are charged with poor medical services and inhumane treatment. The federal court overturned laws that banned private immigration facilities in California in 2019.
