Impact of Trump’s Immigration Policies on Refugees

• As President Trump implements aggressive immigration policies, the ripple effects are being felt across the globe. His recent executive orders, aimed at halting illegal entry and ramping up deportations, are particularly alarming for refugees escaping violence and persecution. For instance, Mukobelwa Cadet, a refugee from the Democratic Republic of Congo living in Uganda, shares his grief about drastic aid cuts that hinder the support they desperately need. The freeze on USAID funding has led to food shortages and halted educational opportunities for many displaced individuals. 🌍✊

• Similarly, Naiyana Thanawattho from Asylum Access Thailand highlights how the suspension of US funding has critically disrupted essential services for asylum seekers in her country, causing organizational downsizing and increased vulnerability for refugees. As the struggle for freedom plays out in countless camps and communities worldwide, the narratives of those impacted by these policies remind us of the urgent need for compassion and re-evaluated global cooperation in addressing displacement. We must advocate for the rights and dignity of all individuals seeking refuge and support during these tumultuous times.
