Why the Trump Administrations Report on Immigration Detainers is Fundamentally Flawed
The immigration executive order on interior enforcement signed by the President in January instructed the Department of Homeland Security to release a weekly list of jurisdictions that declined immigration detainers. On March 20, the Trump administration released the first Declined Detainer Outcome Report (DDOR). This report and the documentation surrounding it raise serious concerns about its objective, accuracy, and implications.
Trump Wants $6.6 Billion to Hunt Down Immigrants as Abuses Escalate
This week President Trump will request $6.6 billion to fund an expanded nationwide deportation force, new detention centers, and a massive infrastructure increase at the border; the wall. This is all to implement his mass deportation blueprint. As Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) and other Senate Democrats have made clear, taxpayer money should not fund such a cruel, costly, and un-American assault on hard working immigrant families.To pay for his nativist crusade, Trump proposes cuts to the Coast Guard, TSA and FEMA, functions which actually enhance national security.

The Trump administration considered a proposal to mobilize as many as 100,000 national guard troops to round up unauthorized immigrants, including millions living nowhere near the Mexico border, according to a draft memo obtained by the Associated Press. The draft memo calls for unprecedented militarization of immigration enforcement, including targeting undocumented people nowhere near Mexican border.

Among the many things President-elect Donald Trump has promised is undo President Obama’s executive action protecting young undocumented immigrants who were brought to the United States as children, also known as Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA). The public does not support punishing these young people nor is it sound economic or immigration policy, President-elect Trump should recognize that.
What the Immigration Restrictionists Agenda Will Look Like for the Next Four Years
The dark views of the incoming president and his team make it very likely that restrictionist and extreme views on immigration will now be taken seriously.This week, the Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR) released its transition ideas for the new administration and there are no surprises in the document. As usual the group paints a bleak portrait of immigrants and immigration. Their prescriptions are harsh but not new: build a wall, detain more immigrants, deport more immigrants, prosecute immigration violators, use state and local police to round up immigrants, end birthright citizenship, cut back on legal immigration, and so on.
Immigrants Prepare for Life After Obama
Gabe Belmonte showed up to his Silicon Valley engineering job the day after the election in a state of shock. He hadn’t slept, couldn’t eat, and was struggling to ward off panic. Co-workers commented on how distraught he looked, Belmonte recalls: “Initially, I just said, ‘Yeah, the election was kind of rough.’ ”The truth is he’s one of more than 740,000 undocumented immigrants shielded from deportation and authorized to work under President Obama’s 2012 Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program (DACA), which Donald Trump has pledged to eliminate.

REVEALING: Kobach Caught On Camera With His Plan For DHS In His Hand
Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach -- a far-right Republican known for championing anti-immigration measures and voting restrictions -- was photographed with President-elect Donald Trump Sunday holding Kobach's "strategic plan" for the Department of Homeland Security, the Topeka-Capital Journal reported. The plan appears from the photograph to include some of Kobach's most extreme anti-immigration proposals and even alludes to election law, another area where the secretary of state is known for taking hard right positions.
Immigration Lawyers Fear the Worst, Face Anxious Clients After Trump Victory
Phones are ringing off the hook at law offices serving immigrants with shaky status. Some of Trump’s promises, such as the border wall, would require a good deal of time and money to implement as well as possibly requiring approval from Congress. Trump’s pledge to reverse executive actions issued by Obama, on the other hand, could be authorized in late January, shortly after Trump takes office, said Stephen Yale-Loehr, a professor of immigration law at Cornell Law School in Ithaca, N.Y.
Surprising number of Latinos voted for Trump
Latino groups had hoped to flex their political muscle in the presidential election by hitting billionaire businessman Donald Trump and his politically charged anti-immigrant rhetoric with a one-two punch. That not only didn’t happen, but a significantly higher number of Latinos than expected ended up voting for Trump, leaving many activists and community leaders in disbelief on Wednesday morning.
Latino Early Vote Surges From Florida to Nevada
Latino voters are already showing up to vote this election and could cast ballots in larger numbers than Democrats saw in recent elections. On a call with reporters Friday, Latino Decisions– a polling group focused on Hispanic voting patters– said that Latino turnout is on track to make history next week. On the call, Gabriel Sanchez, a principal at Latino Decisions, pointed to early voting trends that show Latino early voting is up 100 percent in Florida, 60 percent in North Carolina and up 25 percent in Colorado and Nevada. Sanchez said at this point, Latino Decisions is projecting that between 13.1 million and 14.7 million Latinos will vote on or before Tuesday– a major increase from 2012 numbers when the group estimated 11.2 million voted. The numbers are a good sign for Hillary Clinton who has seen the race tighten in recent days. Latino Decisions is estimating– using their own turnout predictor– that Clinton is on track to capture 79 percent of the Latino vote. Trump, on the other hand, is expected to garner only 18 percent (almost 10 points down from Romney's 27 percent performance.)

Poll: Trump deeply unpopular among Latinos, who favor Clinton by more than 3 to 1
Hillary Clinton maintains a nearly 50-percentage-point lead among Hispanic voters in a new Washington Post-Univision News poll, with Donald Trump’s deep unpopularity raising questions about how much his candidacy has hampered Republicans’ long-term chances to win back support from the nation’s largest minority-group voting bloc.Congressional Republicans’ struggles suggest the party may need to shift on some issues to overcome Hispanics’ tilt toward Democrats.
Donald Trump warns that 650 million immigrants could come to the U.S. in a week. Let’s do the math!
Twice on Sunday, Donald Trump told audiences at rallies that electing Hillary Clinton risked a truly spectacular shift in the composition of the United States."When you're working for Hillary, she wants to let people just pour in.

This Is How Many Undocumented Immigrants Donald Trump Wants Out Of The Country
11.1 million, according to the most recent estimate. Trump has indicated that even undocumented immigrants with longstanding ties to the U.S. would be forced out if he becomes president ― if not by mass deportation, then by policies that would make it more difficult for them to stay. But Trump’s unlikely to believe estimates on the undocumented immigrant population anyway. He has repeatedly claimed that the size of the undocumented population is unknown, even though multiple sources have estimated it’s around 11 million people.

The order was the latest in a long-running battle between those who demand strict and often onerous requirements to casting a ballot in order to combat voter fraud, and those who consider these measures as nothing more than thinly veiled attempts to suppress minority voting.

Sullum: Softening won’t make Trump immigration plan popular
Recent polls indicate that less than a quarter of Americans think the 11 million or so people who live in this country without the government's permission should be forcibly removed. That lack of enthusiasm for mass deportation explains Donald Trump's much-ballyhooed "softening" on immigration, which has produced a mushy mess.While seeking the Republican presidential nomination, Trump insisted that unauthorized immigrants "have to go," along with their American-born children (who are U.S.
Donald Trump is doing a great job making people like immigrants more
Support for mass deportation and a border wall are both near campaign lows. A new poll from the Washington Post and ABC News shows Donald Trump's immigration proposals are hugely unpopular with the American people — so much so that Trump actually appears to be increasing sympathy for immigrants and depressing support for his harsh enforcement techniques.
