Trump new deportation order

Following his failed deportation and executive order law which fails to see thee light of day for obvious reasons known to the American legal systems, president Trump had continued to push further a new executive order viewed in absolute streamlining of the country's immigration laws. The Trump administration which had earlier placed a ban in seven core Muslim nation before the 9th circuits court of appeal upturned the arguments, based his logic on the fact that immigrants had done more harm than good to the United States as this may have contributed to the incessant terrorist activities that have culminated gravely across the 50 states in America. 

In what he recently described as "extreme vetting", president Trump haven failed in his previous attempts to clamp down on immigrants, had directed  his administration to enforce the nation’s immigration laws more aggressively, unleashing the full force of the federal government to find, arrest and deport those in the country illegally, regardless of whether they have committed serious crimes or not. According to a released document by Department of Homeland Security , it clearly explains the broad scope of what president Trump expects from law enforcement agency in trying to clamp down in an aggressive way the strict applications of this new planned immigration laws under what the white house described as extreme vetting.  

This new change of plan by the Trump administration to seriously clamp down on immigration flow, clearly explains some of his campaign rhetoric where he talked hard in border control, extreme vetting, aliens Americans and possibly tougher measures in defining the picture of crime control measures. 

Sean Spicer, the White House press secretary, said on Tuesday that the president wanted to “take the shackles off” of the nation’s immigration enforcers. He insisted that the new policies made it clear that “the No. 1 priority is that people who pose a threat to our country are immediately dealt with.”

Similarly, advocates against this strident immigration law explains that the new border control and enforcement directives would create an atmosphere of fear that was likely to drive those in the country illegally deeper into the shadows. 

"The message is: The immigration law is back in business,” said Mark Krikorian, the executive director of the Center for Immigration Studies, which supports restricted immigration. “That violating immigration law is no longer a secondary offense.”

According to Lawyers and advocates for the rights of immigrants, this new strident measures aimed at violating the privacy and ethics of enforcing immigration laws in the country, could as well be challenged in court just as the former failed at the 9th circuits U.S court of appeal. 

According to the New York Times in a report,  the new policies are a rejection of the sometimes more restrained efforts by former Presidents Barack Obama and George W. Bush and their predecessors, who sought to balance protecting the nation’s borders with fiscal, logistical and humanitarian limits on the exercise of laws passed by Congress.

“When you tell state and local police that their job is to do immigration enforcement,” said Omar Jadwat, director of the American Civil Liberties Union’s Immigrants’ Rights Project, “it translates into the unwarranted and illegal targeting of people because of their race, because of their language, because of the color of their skin.”

This policy also expands a program that lets officials bypass due process protections such as court hearings in some deportation cases. Under the Obama administration, the program, known as “expedited removal,” was used only when an immigrant was arrested within 100 miles of the border and had been in the country no more than 14 days. Now it will include all those who have been in the country for up to two years, no matter where they are caught.

“The faithful execution of our immigration laws is best achieved by using all these statutory authorities to the greatest extent practicable,” John F. Kelly, the secretary of homeland security, wrote in one of two memorandums released on Tuesday. “Accordingly, department personnel shall make full use of these authorities.”

This new order which is currently been contested against by several states on the basis of non-conformity explains the irrationality involved in getting local law enforcement agency such as city police to get involve in immigration policy. In New York, Mayor Bill de Blasio in a statement on Tuesday pledged the city’s cooperation in cases involving “proven public safety threats,” but vowed that “what we will not do is turn our N.Y.P.D. officers into immigration agents.

Under the new directives, agency would no longer provide privacy protections to people who are not American citizens or green card holders. A policy established in the last days of the Bush administration in January 2009 provided some legal protection for information collected by the Department of Homeland Security on nonresidents.

No doubt, Donald Trump seems to be placing foot too hard on the gas pedal as he continues to fight real hard in trying to executive some of his campaign promises which clearly contradicts both ethics and commonsense as argued in some quarters as "undemocratic and unconstitutional"

Though, the white house seems to be mute on ways in generating  the billions of dollars needed to pay for thousands of new border control agents, a network of detention facilities to detain unauthorized immigrants and a wall along the entire southern border with Mexico.
