John,

President Trump wasted no time trying to radically change the U.S. immigration system. On his first day in office, he issued 10 executive orders that seek to redefine America—excluding everyone from asylum seekers to countless children of immigrants. 

In the American Immigration Council’s new fact sheet, After Day One: A High-Level Analysis of Trump’s First Executive Actions, we break down what these policy changes seek to accomplish immediately and what they will mean for immigrants and all Americans in the future.

The analysis, while not exhaustive, examines the Trump administration’s agenda through these main objectives: 

• Turning the U.S. Interior into an Enforcement Dragnet 
   
• "Sealing” the Border—Using the U.S. Military and More 
   
• Rolling Back Existing Legal Protections—Up to and Including U.S. Citizenship 
   
• Restricting Avenues of Legal Immigration to the United States
   

These changes will touch nearly every aspect of the U.S. immigration system. They are also a clear signal that immigrant communities are under attack—and we can’t simply stand by.

​Sincerely,

Nayna Gupta
Policy Director
