DONALD TRUMP

In the four years Donald Trump served as President of the United States, he tore families apart, decimated our immigration system, and left a moral stain on our nation’s history. As we approach the 2024 presidential election, he is not only doubling down on his past extremism but also pledging to inflict even more harm on immigrant communities. 

 
    • The Trump administration intentionally separated thousands of children from their parents. Hundreds have yet to be reunited.

    • Within the first year of his presidency, Trump announced the rescission of DACA with the goal of exposing hundreds of thousands of immigrant youth to deportation.

    • The Trump administration announced the termination of Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for El Salvador, Haiti, Nicaragua, and Sudan — exposing up to 300,000 people to deportation.

    • The Trump administration’s Muslim and African bans — policies deeply rooted in white supremacy — inflicted direct harm on thousands of immigrants who were unable to travel to the United States based on their religion and national origin.

    • The number of deportation orders during the Trump administration nearly doubled each year compared to the previous administration.

    • As president, Trump wasted billions of dollars on an unnecessary border wall.

    • The Trump administration effectively dismantled the legal asylum system.

    • Through its Remain in Mexico policy, the Trump administration exposed millions of asylum seekers to danger and harm.

    • The Trump administration launched large-scale worksite raids that deliberately targeted immigrants of color.

    • Through its revised Public Charge rule, the Trump administration tried to establish an unconstitutional wealth test to deny immigrants access to economic supports.

    • As president, Donald Trump reduced refugee resettlement to the lowest levels in three decades.

    • Trump has pledged to hire thousands more ICE agents in order to deport millions of immigrants in what he’s calling “the largest domestic deportation operation in history.”

    • Trump has promised to reimpose every harmful policy his administration created – including the Remain in Mexico policy and Title 42 expulsion order.

    • If elected, Trump would directly attack and seek to end birthright citizenship – a right protected by the 14th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution.

    • Trump would also endorse and expand the worst parts of Texas’ Operation Lone Star – including the floating, razor wire-covered barriers in the Río Grande.

    • Trump has promised to further expand his discriminatory Muslim and African bans to even more countries.

    • Trump has pledged to waste billions more dollars to build his border wall.

    • Trump has promised to strip tens of thousands of civil servants of their employment protections with the goal of replacing them with anti-immigrant ideologues to carry out his harmful policies.

 

DONALD TRUMP is too extreme to lead.
