In the United States, massive social protests continue in rejection of the discriminatory policies of the Donald Trump administration, following its intensified persecution of the migrant community. Human rights organizations say migrants are detained arbitrarily, showing a systematic policy criminalizing working families, most of whom are Latin American. Trump's policies have intensified immigration operations, transforming them into mechanisms of intimidation and persecution. The U.S. president recently ordered troops to Portland, Oregon, adding to operations in Los Angeles, Washington, D.C., and Memphis. This increases the presence of military and federal agency forces in cities governed by Democrats.
