The debate over immigration has reached new heights in 2025, with President Donald Trump implementing aggressive enforcement policies that have reshaped migration patterns.
A New Enforcement Era
Nationwide raids and the suspension of asylum claims have become hallmarks of the administration’s approach. Migrants now face heightened risks as new measures take effect across the country.
Deportations to El Salvador Stir Controversy
In a move critics call unprecedented, individuals apprehended at the border are being deported directly to El Salvador, raising questions about due process and humanitarian concerns.
Fear, Legal Battles, and Shifting Routes
These policies have triggered widespread fear and spawned legal battles nationwide, while migrants explore alternative corridors, leading to shifting migration routes throughout the region.
As CGTN’s Alasdair Baverstock reports, the ripple effects of these policies extend far beyond U.S. borders, influencing migration trends and debates across the Americas.
