 In this final episode of my four-part immigration series, I examine the scope and impact of Trump's second-term immigration policies, including mass deportations, the targeting of legal immigrants and international students, and the administration's use of El Salvador's CECOT prison to detain migrants. I explore the attempted elimination of birthright citizenship through executive order, the economic consequences of widespread enforcement raids, and the dismissal of immigration court cases for people sent overseas. Through personal stories and policy analysis, the episode shows how these actions represent a significant departure from previous immigration enforcement practices and concludes our exploration of America's immigration system from its historical roots to today's breaking point.
