Overview
On January 20, 2025, President Trump began rolling out a series of controversial immigration policies. Key changes include the abolishment of the CBP One app, which allowed asylum-seekers to schedule appointments for entry into the U.S. This decision has caused distress among many migrants, with thousands left uncertain about their futures. Additionally, Trump reinstated the 'Remain in Mexico' policy, forcing asylum-seekers to wait in Mexico during their legal proceedings. Trump's administration also declared a national emergency at the southern border and announced plans for mass deportations, sparking likely legal challenges from civil rights groups.

Analysis
- The left continues to criticize Trump's inauguration for its commercialized atmosphere, where corporate interests overshadow the needs of the public, as evidenced by the participation of high-profile CEOs during the event.
- The left frames Trump's immigration policies as not only draconian but also as a continuation of harmful practices that exacerbate the humanitarian crisis at the border, particularly the abrupt cancellation of the CBP One app, which had provided crucial legal pathways for migrants.
- The left views Trump's rhetoric about a 'national emergency' at the border as a dangerous narrative that ignores the complexities of migration and the human rights concerns associated with mass deportations.
Analysis unavailable for this viewpoint.
- The right celebrates Trump's inauguration as a reinforcement of America’s sovereignty, touting the immediate end of the CBP One app as a necessary measure to restore order at the border and curb illegal immigration.
- Right-leaning commentators argue that Trump's immigration policies, including the recommitment to border security and designating criminal cartels as terrorists, are essential steps towards national security, in contrast with what they perceive as the ineffective policies of the previous administration.
- The right interprets Trump’s inaugural address as a decisive call to action, emphasizing a return to traditional values and a strong stance against illegal immigration, framing it as a restoration of American greatness.
