The Trump administration has enacted sweeping changes to U.S. migration and border policy, prioritizing enforcement over protection. Executive actions have restricted access to asylum, ended refugee resettlement and parole programs, increased border militarization, all while freezing U.S. assistance to support migrants and asylum seekers in the region. Further announcements have called for the early termination of TPS for Venezuelans and Haitians, halted immigration benefit processing, and expanded expedited removal. The administration has also escalated efforts to send migrants to third countries or detain them at Guantanamo. These measures have created heightened uncertainty for asylum seekers, TPS holders, parolees, and undocumented communities. This webinar analyze the consequences of these policies on due process, legal protections, and the overall migration landscape in the U.S.
