Who is president right now

This picture was taken in 2018, under the Trump administration’s “no tolerance” policy towards asylum seekers crossing the southern border. The policy was discontinued by the Biden administration in January of 2021. Mass trials for migrants, however, have been an ongoing phenomenon since 2005 under Operation Slipshine, started during the Bush II administration and reaching a peak during the Obama administration. Of course, none of this would have been possible without the Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act of 1996 under the Clinton administration, which changed immigration laws to make illegal entry a felony instead of a misdemeanour, and eliminated much due process.

As for the current president? That is Joe Biden, under whose administration some changes have been made to immigration policy. The rest, however, tends to be mostly a continuation of the policies of previous administrations, much to the detriment of the people still imprisoned and deported.
