The Trump administration's immigration policies echo historical patterns of exclusion and mass deportation seen in the U.S. since the 20th century. The internment of Japanese Americans during World War II and the deportation of Mexicans in the 1930s highlight a legacy of targeting marginalized groups. Current policies, including expedited removals and family separations, intensify these historical injustices, raising concerns about human rights violations and due process.
