The second term of the President Donald Trump Administration has been marked by a series of significant policy decisions that have stirred national and international discourse. From trade negotiations and military policies to immigration reforms and educational funding, the administration's actions have prompted debates about constitutional authority, civil rights, and the balance of power within the U.S. government.

In April 2025, President Donald Trump introduced a series of sweeping policy measures that have significantly impacted both domestic and international landscapes. These measures include the imposition of extensive tariffs on foreign imports and a stringent crackdown on sanctuary cities within the United States. The tariffs, announced on April 2, 2025, and referred to by the administration as "Liberation Day" tariffs, aim to protect American manufacturing and address trade imbalances, particularly with China. Concurrently, the administration has intensified efforts to enforce federal immigration laws by targeting sanctuary jurisdictions that do not cooperate with federal immigration enforcement.

On the 100th day of Donald Trump's return to the White House, former Vice President Kamala Harris delivered a sharp rebuke of the administration's policies during a keynote speech at Emerge America’s 20th anniversary gala.

In the evolving and often polarizing landscape of U.S. immigration policy, the role of local law enforcement in federal immigration enforcement has become a focal point of legal and political contention. Recent moves by the Trump administration to revitalize and dramatically expand the 287(g) program—a federal initiative that deputizes local police officers to carry out certain immigration enforcement duties—have rekindled debate over the boundaries of constitutional authority, the protection of civil liberties, and the practical implications for communities across the country.
