New York Times - Among the worst episodes in American history are those moments when
the federal government deploys the full weight of its power against the
most vulnerable people in the country: the Trail of Tears and the
Fugitive Slave Act in the 19th century and Japanese internment in the
middle of the 20th, to name three. If he is granted a second term in the White House, Donald Trump hopes
to add his own entry to this ignominious book of national shame. Trump’s signature promise, during the 2016 presidential election, was
that he would build a wall on the U.S. border with Mexico. His
signature promise, this time around, is that he’ll use his power as
president to deport as many as 20 million people from the United States.
CBS News - Illegal crossings along the U.S.-Mexico border in May are down by more than 50% compared to the record highs reported in December, giving the Biden administration an unexpected reprieve during a time when migration has historically surged
