History

Historical Context

President Donald Trump signed Executive Order 13768 on Jan 25 2017, reviving Secure Communities and directing ICE to intensify interior enforcement. Federal courts halted the order in April 2017 and declared its sanctuary-city provisions unconstitutional in Nov 2017; the order was later rescinded by President Joe Biden on Jan 20 2021. The 2017 crackdown frames today’s tech-CEO meeting and renewed debate over ICE activity.
