Four months into President Donald Trump’s administration, we have seen a wave of executive orders signed, and several U.S. companies are beginning to feel the effects of his immigration plan and policies on businesses. While federal courts have blocked some of his actions, including Trump’s efforts to temporarily restrict immigration from a handful of predominately Muslim countries, the president moved ahead with changes in domestic immigration policy.
On Jan. 25, the president issued an executive order outlining border security and immigration enforcement measures, which included directives to secure the southern border of the United States through the immediate construction of a physical wall, remove promptly those individuals whose legal claims to remain in the United States have been lawfully rejected after any appropriate civil or criminal sanctions have been imposed, and detain individuals apprehended on suspicion of violating federal or state law.
