President Trump’s immigration policies: Which model for immigration law?

Abstract

Abstract: Le politiche sull’immigrazione del Presidente Trump: quale modello per il diritto dell’immigrazione? – The aim of this chapter is to provide some reflections on President Trump’s immigration policies. Trump’s administration has achieved a reduction in the number of immigrants during the presidential term, implementing a trend of violation of human rights, and racial violence, through Muslim bans, zero tolerance, and a war on immigration diversity. From this point of view, it is no wonder that some States and local governments refuse to assist the federal government attempts to deport undocumented immigrants. These jurisdictions, called ‘Sanctuary cities’, were at the centre of the growing political conflict over immigration policy.
