As President Donald Trump cracks down on immigration, lawmakers in some Democratic-led states are proposing new ways to resist his efforts.

January 26, 2025 – SAN DIEGO, CA – Alleged Sinaloa Cartel cell leader Octavio Leal-Hernandez, aka Chapito Leal, who is believed responsible for trafficking large amounts of methamphetamine, cocaine, heroin and marijuana into the United States from Mexico, appeared in federal court on Thursday following his extradition from Mexico last Wednesday.

Migrants in Mexico who were hoping to come to the U.S. are adjusting to a new and uncertain reality after President Donald Trump began cracking down on border security.

Hundreds of thousands of migrants lost scheduled appointments after CBP One app was disabled, creating uncertainty at the US-Mexico border.

President Trump took action to close the nation’s southern border and terminate a widely used app. Many migrants expressed despair, and some moved to cross the border anyway.

Mexico was raising sprawling tents on the U.S. border Wednesday as it braced for President Donald Trump to fulfill his pledge to reverse mass migration

In Tijuana, meanwhile, Mexican soldiers are helping to prepare for the consequences of it. The authorities have readied an events centre called Flamingos with 1,800 beds for the returnees and troops bringing in supplies, setting up a kitchen and showers.

The initial blow came with the end of CBP One, stranding thousands of asylum seekers with and without appointments

The president moved quickly to cancel the CBP One app, which allowed migrants to schedule appointments to gain entry into the United States, turning away potentially tens of thousands of migrants.

CBP One has been wildly popular, especially with Venezuelans, Cubans, Haitians and Mexicans. Now, they were stranded at the U.S. border or deeper in Mexico.

Mexico will give humanitarian aid to migrants from other countries whose asylum appointments were cancelled, as well as those sent to wait in her nation under the revived policy known as Remain in
