President Donald Trump He released an earthquake in the American immigration system during his first full moon in power, quickly canceled politics from the time of Biden and removed the authorities that they carry out implementation inland and on the border.
A warrant late Wednesday, which is spent a day in front of a one -month administration label, directed all federal agencies To identify all programs funded with the federality currently providing any financial benefits to illegal immigrants and “taken corrective measures”. The order is intended to ensure that any funding of states and localities “will not be used to support the sanctuary policies or help with illegal immigration”.
But it was the latest in what was a battery of overhaul of the American immigration system.

The first day
Trump, who led his campaign focused on border security and broke illegal immigration, had to work on the first day of his administration – signing the executive orders that declared the national emergency on the border and arranged the US army. He also signed orders that will end citizenship on birth for children of illegal immigrants, suspending the reception of refugees, and at the same time ending the use of the CBP One application on the southern border to receive migrants through humanitarian conditional freedom.
Other commands included moves until the restoration of the border structure, which ended under the management of Biden.
It’s been a long time before the moves followed by additional decisions of the cabinet agency. Pentagon quickly arranged the troops on the southern border, and also opened the Guantánamo Bay for flights of migrants.
AND Homeland Security Department (DHS) have also issued orders that have completed restrictions on immigration and customs (ICE) that Bidel’s administration has imposed on “sensitive” places, and have also taken the limitations of accelerated removal, allowing the removal procedure to be used more widely after they is the previous administration limited. Another order enabled ICE to review the conditional status of a migrant adopted on conditionality, opening them with deportation.
DHS also left after federal financing of migrant causes. Recently, four federal emergency management agencies (FEMA) were discharged, and tens of millions of dollars returned from New York appointed hotels where migrants are housed.
“Secretary (Kristi) Noem reduced the completely payment made by Fem Deep State activists unilaterally given to NYC Migrant hotels,” DHS spokesman told Fox News Digital.
Raids
In the meantime, the administration quickly switched to reinforcement of internal arrests and deportations. Numerous high attacks are quickly launched throughout the US, especially in the cities of “shrines” that do not cooperate with ICE agents. The daily arrests ranged above 1,000 a day, and officials pointed to numerous criminals and gang members who were picked up in the process.
According to DHS, obtained by Fox News Digital, there were 11,791 internal ice arrests from January 20 to February 8, compared to 4,969 during the same period 2024. It is an increase of 137%.
The arrests of foreigners with criminal history increased by almost 100% with 4,526 in the same period in 2024. At 8,993 under Trump this year. Meanwhile, the arrests of fugitives, meanwhile, increased from 2,164 to 5,538, an increase of 156%. The arrests of criminal foreigners in local prisons increased 59%.

The efforts from the era to Biden were abolished
The new Trump of Trump recorded rapidly unwinding a series of bidet programs. Fox News Digital confirmed on Wednesday that DHS has now paused on hold of the application for three programs from the Biden era: unification for Ukraine; The proceeds of a conditional discharge for Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua and Venezuela (CHNV); and the re -unification programs of the family.
Trump has already ordered at the end of the use of some conditional discharge programs to Bidun, including CHNV. He also ordered the end of the Parish Participation of Migrants in the entrance ports who paid the meetings on the CBP One application.
At that time, Biden administration They advertised the spread of “lawful paths”, claiming that they were part of the effort to reduce illegal crossings, but the Republicans accused the administration of misuse of limited conditional power and allowing migrants that should not enter.
Trump’s administration also suspended the relocation of refugees, which spread under the management of Biden. There is also frozen funding foreign nations, which was the cornerstone of the “root causes” strategy advocated by the previous administration.
International diplomacy
Migration strategies often require foreign cooperation, and Trump administration has used diplomacy and tariff threat to ensure additional cooperation with neighbors and other countries in the region.
Both Canada and Mexico agreed to increase their safety efforts after Trump floated new tariffs to incoming goods from their countries. In the meantime, both Venezuela and Colombia agreed that they would return their immigrants who were deported, and the president of Colombia gave up after a public conflict with President Trump.
Guatemala, separately, agreed to accept deported from other countries as part of the agreement that was carried out with state secretary Marc Rubio.
