Within days of taking office, Chief executive Donald J. Trump released or announced adjustments to immigration legislation and policy. Banned examines the device of discretion, or the choice a government must protect, detain, or deport immigrants, and explains the way the Trump administration offers wielded this device in creating and executing its immigration policy.

Prohibited combines personal interviews, immigration law, policy analysis, and case research to answer the following concerns: (1) what does immigration about Banned: Immigration Enforcement in enough time of Trump enforcement and discretion look like in the time of Trump? (2) who is affected by changes to immigration enforcement and discretion?; (3) how have individuals and family members affected by immigration enforcement under Leader Trump changed their own perceptions about the future?; and (4) just how do those up to date about immigration enforcement and discretion describe the current situation and perceive the near future?

The storyplot of immigration and the role immigrants play in the United States is significant. The government has the tools to take care of those seeking admission, refuge, or chance in the United States humanely. Banned presents a separate reminder of the duty we all have to defend America’s identity as a country of immigrants.
