● How the Trump administration has ramped up mass deportations as a show of power;
● The chilling, unconstitutional actions targeting legal immigration;
● How Trump’s actions build on a long history of corrupt immigration laws and enforcement;
● How the attack on due process aims at scaring immigrants into self-deporting;
