Trump Poised to Wield Executive Power to Make Immigration Changes

Written by Teunis Felter

President Donald Trump is soon expected to seek sharp changes in U.S. immigration policy by using his executive power, echoing the politically contentious approach taken by Barack Obama. The new White House released its first executive actions on Inauguration Day, regarding the Affordable Care Act and on regulations across the government. Mr. Trump is planning others early this week on immigration and trade. On immigration, advocates on both sides of the issue expect the administration to toughen enforcement by deporting more people and reversing Obama administration rules protecting young people brought to the U.S. illegally as children.
