For years I've argued that enforcing immigration law requires much more than just securing the border. Now we're finally seeing the Trump administration expand enforcement across multiple fronts.
In today's show, I cover the growing crackdown on visa overstays, arrests at airports across the country, the use of the long-dormant Alien Terrorist Removal Court, tougher enforcement against fraudulent asylum claims, and proposed reforms giving immigration judges stronger tools to control their courtrooms. I explain why I believe these measures attack the incentives that fueled illegal immigration for decades—and why they're far more significant than any single headline suggests.
I'll also discuss why holding immigration fraud accountable matters, how the administration is changing enforcement priorities, and why I believe these developments represent a fundamental shift in how federal immigration law is being enforced.
