Since President Donald Trump entered office for the second time, he has drastically changed federal immigration policies. In a significant ramp-up from his first presidency, Trump’s second administration has aggressively delivered on its anti-immigration campaign promises. Arrests have doubled, border crossings have dropped, and the number of rescinded deportation protections has increased since January of this year.
H.R. 1, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA), was passed into law by Congress on July 4, 2025. This major spending act will add $3.4 trillion to the federal deficit over the next decade. OBBBA will fund tax cuts while making cuts to essential programs like Medicaid, a joint federal-state health insurance program administered by the states and relied on by millions of disabled and low-income Americans.

On July 3, House Republicans passed President Donald Trump’s “One Big Beautiful Bill”, a multi-trillion dollar spending package that extends the tax cuts he enacted during his first term and puts billions of dollars toward national security and deportations. These plans are largely funded by a $1.2 trillion cutback to Medicaid and food aid benefits, and a major rollback of clean energy tax credits. Here are some of the major changes to come.
Shortly after returning to office in January, President Donald Trump made major cuts to the United States Agency for International Development (USAID), the 63-year-old government agency that oversees worldwide efforts to improve health, education, poverty, and hunger. Trump’s cuts have already affected at least 50 countries, and halted life-saving services and medications for millions of people worldwide. Trump called the impact of his own cuts “devastating.”
Harvard University has filed two lawsuits against the Trump administration for slashing billions of dollars from the university’s research funding and preventing them from enrolling international students. The White House announced these cuts after Harvard refused to comply with a list of demands and made similar threats to 60 U.S. higher education institutions in March. Harvard is the first to pursue legal action.
