In a move fulfilling his campaign pledge, President Donald Trump has initiated a stringent series of actions aimed at strengthening security along the southern US border. The sweeping immigration reforms include the reinstatement of the controversial 'Remain in Mexico' policy and a push to halt birthright citizenship as enshrined in the 14th Amendment.

Among the immediate impacts, migrants who had scheduled appointments via the CBP One app found them abruptly canceled post-inauguration. Additionally, Mexico has agreed to allow asylum-seekers to stay south of the US border, despite concerns from advocates about the dangers this poses for migrants.

The revamped agenda also involves deploying military resources to complete the border wall while labeling criminal cartels as foreign terrorist entities. Despite the ambitious scope, Trump's agenda is poised to face intense legal scrutiny and logistical hurdles, making the path forward uncertain.
