Jane Koston：特朗普政府签署了一系列行政命令，旨在严格限制移民，包括终止出生公民权，这在美国是独一无二的，并引发了广泛的法律挑战。此外，政府还宣布南部边境进入紧急状态，关闭了简化庇护流程的应用程序，恢复了‘留在墨西哥’政策，暂停了难民安置计划，并取消了长期以来限制在教堂和学校等场所逮捕移民的政策。这些措施引发了广泛的批评，被认为是残酷和具有恐吓性质的。 Jane Koston：特朗普政府的这些行动对寻求庇护者和移民产生了深远的影响，导致成千上万的人的预约被取消，许多人面临着绝望和不确定性。政府的这些措施也受到了来自各方的强烈谴责，被认为是对法治的攻击。 Emily Green：宣布南部边境进入紧急状态赋予特朗普政府更多权力，可以采取更多关于边境的行政行动，例如部署军队或继续修建边境墙。关闭CBP One应用程序切断了许多移民通过合法途径进入美国的途径，导致许多已经在边境等待数月的移民面临绝望。一些人可能会选择非法入境，而另一些人则可能放弃。墨西哥政府对恢复‘留在墨西哥’政策的态度有所保留，主要是因为担心美国可能实施关税。取消出生公民权可能会对美国的认同产生根本性的影响，但其具体后果尚不清楚。援引1798年的《敌侨法》可能会导致更多地使用军队来执行移民执法。将贩毒集团列为恐怖组织可能会产生意想不到的后果，例如美国公司可能面临与恐怖主义相关的指控。在国际上，特朗普政府的移民政策可能会受到负面评价，因为许多西方政府都对移民持负面态度，移民在更大的政治斗争中很容易成为筹码。

Shownotes Transcript

In one of his first acts back in the White House, President Donald Trump signed a bunch of executive orders Monday to severely restrict immigration in the United States. He signed an executive order to end birthright citizenship, a move that's already prompted multiple lawsuits. He also declared a national emergency at the southern border, shut down a Biden-era mobile app to streamline the asylum process for migrants, brought back his 'Remain in Mexico' policy, and paused refugee resettlement, among other terrible things. Emily Green, a freelance reporter covering Latin America based in Mexico, explains the real-world effects of Trump's immigration orders.

And in headlines: Trump granted clemency to all of the Jan. 6 insurrectionists, New York Congresswoman Elise Stefanik got her chance to flood Senators with vague platitudes during her confirmation hearing, and the Trump administration wastes no time firing people.
