Trump 2025: Brutal deportation policy split the USA and Europe!

USA - Donald Trump was again sworn in as President of the United States on January 20, 2023 and has been reproducing his election promises since then. This policy leads to a split reaction both in the USA and in the rest of the world. The closure of the Mexican border in particular caused a sensation. Under his government, 10,000 US troops were stationed at the border, which led to a drastic decline in illegal transfers to 8,400 compared to 245,000 in April of the previous year when Joe Biden was in office. At the same time, massive deportations of illegal migrants are running, and 139,000 people have already been deported. Trump strives to increase the number of deportations to one million a year.

The US border protection authority ICE reports new figures on migrant festivals every day, and in the first week by Trump's second term, almost 2400 migrants were arrested. These measures are accompanied by an emergency on the border with Mexico, and a newly adopted law, the "Lakes Riley Act", enables stricter measures against people without valid residence status. In particular, the arrest of irregular migrants has made headlines. Trump's strategy also stipulates that irregularly immigrated people can also be arrested in schools, churches and hospitals.

The comprehensive deportations and arrests are perceived as brutally. Human rights organizations and the United Nations have expressed concerns that many of these measures could violate the right to asylum and encourage arbitrary use of seekers seeking protection. Reports on inhumane conditions for arrests and deportations are present in the media. Critical voices come mainly from democratically governed states and cities that have declared themselves "refuge cities" to counteract these measures. At the same time, the economy, in particular from the agricultural sector, have become voices that complain about the loss of workers due to the massive deportations.

Trump not only pursues an aggressive immigration policy, but has also announced that he increased the pressure on Vladimir Putin in the Ukraine War by set an ultimatum for an armistice. He also wages trade wars to achieve fairer trade agreements for the United States, but this triggered both uncertainties and confusion in the markets. While a US court recently put all tariffs on hold, it remains unclear how Trump's aggressive trade and foreign policy measures will affect the global economy.

Despite the controversial decisions, Trump currently has an average approval rate of 47.7 percent. This is contrasting to support the Democrats, which is only 37 percent. It remains to be seen how the developments will continue at the US border, since the deportation policy could have significant consequences for both those affected and for society. The question of the right to asylum and human rights will increasingly be a key point in the political debate.
