History

Historical Context

Donald Trump's 2016 presidential campaign centered on strict immigration policies, including a proposed border wall and a ban on Muslims from certain countries. His administration's actions, such as the 2017 travel ban and family separations, sparked widespread protests, with the ACLU noting a 200% increase in immigration-related legal cases.
