What has changed with immigration under Trump and what is still playing out? - The Boston Globe

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

61% : The Justice Department also told legal aid groups to stop work on federal programs that help people in immigration courts and detention centers navigate complex laws.
59% : Still, some said it was business as usual for ICE -- at least so far.
57% : Trump secured Mexico's approval to reinstate a hallmark policy of his first term, "Remain in Mexico," which requires asylum-seekers to wait in Mexico for hearings in U.S. immigration court.
53% : Trump also ended a policy that allowed more than 500,000 people from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua and Venezuela to fly to the country on two-year permits if they had a financial sponsor.
51% : ICE needs the space to hold people while any legal proceedings play out and while it arranges deportations.
48% : Trump may use emergency powers to tap the Defense Department, as he did for a border wall in his first term.
47% : It also threatened to punish "sanctuary" jurisdictions that limit cooperation with federal immigration authorities.
39% : Here's a look at how immigration policy has changed so far under Trump and what hasn't happened yet:U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement said it made an average of 710 immigration arrests daily from Thursday through Monday, up from a daily average of 311 in a 12-month period through September under President Joe Biden.
39% : Trump said he was ending automatic citizenship for children born on U.S. soil, a precedent established by constitutional amendment in 1868.
36% : ICE hasn't said how many people it has deported since Trump took office gain, but the administration has highlighted removal flights, including the use of military planes.
36% : An 1878 law prohibits military involvement in civilian law enforcement, but Trump and his aides have signaled he may invoke wartime powers.
35% : The Trump administration made it easier for ICE to deport people without appearing before an immigration judge by expanding "expedited removal" authority nationwide for anyone in the country up to two years.
35% : Trump stopped resettling refugees who are vetted abroad before entering the United States until further review, a program that he largely dismantled in his first term and was resurrected under Biden.
34% : Much of what Trump can do will boil down to money.
34% : Trump put the tariffs measures on hold after Petro backed down.
32% : Trump ended use of a border app to allow migrants to enter the country on two-year permits with eligibility to work, canceling tens of thousands of appointments into early February for people stranded in Mexico.
31% : Trump said in his order that the Defense Department can assist with detention and transportation.
26% : In an episode that may signal more hardball diplomacy with governments that resist or refuse to take back their citizens, Trump said Sunday that he would raise tariffs 25% on Colombia after President Gustavo Petro refused to let two military planes land with deportees.
24% : Trump expanded arrest priorities to anyone in the country illegally, not just people with criminal convictions, public safety or national security threats and migrants stopped at the border.
21% : Under Biden, ICE deported more than 270,000 people in a 12-month period that ended in September.
