Trump’s Executive Orders Target Immigrants
Caleigh Montoya, Staff Writer
Upon taking office on January 20th, 2025, one of President Trump’s first orders of business was cracking down on immigration. Titling the executive order, “Protecting The American People Against Invasion”, Trump’s blatant attack on immigrants is clear. Naming immigrants as invaders, aliens, and a threat to public safety in an executive order delivered straight from the white house to all of America displays Trump’s racism seeping into our politics. Let’s dive into how he has fulfilled this executive order into his presidency thus far.
Nogales, Arizona Student Trip: Seeking Answers for the Border Crisis
By Danny Gonzales-Hyde, Staff Writer
Over the course of the past few years, the tension surrounding the United States' shared border with Mexico has been the center of much dispute. With this in mind, a group of Regis students organized a trip to Nogales, Arizona to learn more about immigration from Mexico and the issues surrounding the border. Along with these intentions, the trip was in memory of Jose Antonio, a 16-year-old boy shot 10 times by a border patrol agent. Jose was waiting for his brother on the Mexican side of the wall when he was shot by this border patrol agent who fired his weapon 17 times at Jose who was unarmed. During the trip, the group of students attended a vigil held by Jose's mother and grandmother for the 10th anniversary of his murder, who are fighting in the US courts in hope of getting justice for Jose. This was one of the many experiences that the group experienced over the course of the three-day trip. Other activities included going to a local market where artists sold their work, attending community events protesting the border, and a variety of other educational experiences centered around the border.
