Migration: A Look Back at 2025. 

In his second term, Donald Trump accelerated an unprecedented immigration crackdown: mass deportations, the deployment of the National Guard to pursue migrants, the militarization of the southern border, and cuts to humanitarian relief. Through executive orders and policy memoranda, the White House has tested the limits of presidential power, with a profound impact on due process and human rights—even for U.S. citizens. What were the key milestones of immigration policy in 2025? What plan did Trump present to voters, and how has he implemented it? Who has been affected? How are communities and voters responding?

Guests: Oscar Chacon, Co-founder and Strategy Advisor, Alianza Americas, Chicago, IL; Ben Monterroso, Senior Advisor, Poder Latinx, West Covina, CA; Daniel Costa, Director of Immigration Law and Policy Research, Economic Policy Institute, Washington, DC.
