Summary
As President Trump's second term reaches its 100-day milestone, his administration highlights 140 executive orders and strict immigration enforcement. Although he claims a drop in border crossings, Michelle Obama recently stated that Trump's deportation policies 'keep her up at night,' prompting backlash over perceived hypocrisy given her husband Barack Obama's deportations. Trump's aggressive tariffs and declining approval ratings reflect public skepticism, while the administration remains focused on trade negotiations and the ongoing war in Ukraine. Critics highlight the contrast between Trump's and Obama's immigration records as Trump aims to fast-track his agenda.
Perspectives
The Trump administration has deployed around 100 posters outside the White House featuring mugshots of migrants accused of crimes, underlining its hardline stance on immigration enforcement, which it touts as a restoration of the rule of law.
