Donald Trump won the fresh U.S. presidential election. Republican plans towards immigrants and minorities have been controversial for many years. Currently, erstwhile Trump's return to the White home is certain, his plan of action against the number groups criticized by him is subject to many speculation. How will the future president respond in the field of cultural wars after taking office?
On November 6, we met the results of the U.S. presidential election in the United States. After 4 years, Donald Trump will return to the Oval Office. This information, in addition to the affirmative reactions of the conservative part of American society, has besides raised strong concerns from people with a more left-wing worldview. The Republican win again focused public attention on issues related to the future of human rights and number rights in the US. In his erstwhile tenure, politicians made decisions criticized by his opponents as violating values of equal and tolerance. During the last election campaign, the Republican organization candidate repeatedly made demands for regulation to cover sexual minorities and immigrants. As a result, various individuals and organisations active in this area began to pay attention to the hazard of the President-elect violating human rights standards while preparing for the anticipation of a Republican imposing far-reaching restrictions, especially in the area of the rights of transgender persons and the right to asylum in the United States.
Wall on the border
During his political career, Donald Trump repeatedly raised issues of changing the state's attitude towards migrants. During his first election run before the 2016 presidential election, his statements about building a wall on the border with Mexico attracted broad media and public attention. In a fresh election clash, the situation remained unchanged. Both during electoral rallies and in interviews, a Republican attacked Joe Biden's administration's approach to migrants. Trump's opponent, Kamala Harris, in addition to being vice president, besides dealt with the issue of migration in the United States, commissioned by Joe Biden. As part of Biden Kamal's migration policy, Harris conducted negotiations with the leaders of Central American countries to reduce migration force on the American-Mexican border. The diplomatic procedures, however, did not yield the intended results, and the current president-elect has repeatedly criticised Harris' approach to illegal immigration, accusing her of importing immigrant gangs. Trump's announcements regarding the process of mass deportation of millions of undocumented immigrants following the winning elections were peculiarly loud. During the election campaign, the politician announced that his plan was "the largest deportation program in American history", which would start immediately after he took office. Trump besides confirmed that he intends to usage military resources to carry out this operation. According to the American civilian Liberty Union, a non-governmental organization aimed at protecting civilian rights in the US, the actions announced by the President-elect would require arrests of millions of people per year, and the implementation of these announcements would lead to illegal actions against American and global law.
The controversy surrounding the subject besides contributed to the appointment of Tom Homan as the man liable for the future word of office outside the United States. President-elect wrote on his social platform, fact Social, that the erstwhile head of the U.S. Migration and Customs Office would service as “Cara Borders”. Homan is known for his ruthless approach to the deportation of migrants from the country. According to The Atlantic magazine, the politician in 2014 proposed to the Secretary of interior safety in Barack Obama's administration, Jeh Johnson, the application of the policy of separating migrant families as a means of deterring people coming without documents. As The Atlantic emphasizes, Johnson was to describe the thought as “heartless”. However, in 2017, Homan's proposal gained popularity in Donald Trump's administration, leading to the separation of over 4,000 children from their parents. It is worth noting that the erstwhile head of the Migration Office, despite the evidence gathered, denied that he was behind the policy of separating families. He besides defended specified an approach to migration, claiming in a conversation with The Atlantic that "the goal was to halt madness."
It is not only the designation of “Cara Boundary” that would possibly harm the future of humanitarian rights in the United States. Concerns may besides rise the question of limiting the right to asylum for migrants arriving in the US. During his first presidency, Donald Trump was repeatedly accused of violating the basic principles of granting refuge to persons fleeing persecution. At the time, the administration of the policy has repeatedly proposed and laid down provisions that make asylum in the country importantly more hard for migrants. In 2018 the U.S. lawyer General, Jeff Sessions, announced that victims of home force and those persecuted by gangs in another countries would not be allowed to search asylum in the United States on this basis. As the Sessions explained in the justification for their decision, problems of another country related to law enforcement or the vulnerability of certain groups to crimes "cannot in themselves constitute grounds for seeking asylum". In 2020, the Trump presidential administration presented proposals for regulation by introducing fresh restrictive criteria for those seeking protection from persecution. These included, among another things, the request to belong to circumstantial social groups, the engagement of the government of a given country in the persecution experienced by the applicant, or even the work to supply detailed evidence in the event of seeking protection from torture in the country of origin. In response, The National Immigrant Justice Center stated that the task means preventing women, LGBTQ+ people and gang force victims from gaining asylum. The decrees and decisions on migrants seeking shelter in the United States were much more in those years. any of them were blocked by courts, as in June 2020, erstwhile the national Court of Washington annulled a legal change that aimed at blocking migration from Central American countries to the US. It should be mentioned that obstruction or withdrawal of the right to asylum is incompatible with Article 14 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, according to which "in the event of persecution, all individual is entitled to search and usage asylum in another countries".
LGBTQ+ Anxiety
During this year's presidential campaign, Donald Trump, in addition to announcements of restrictions on migrants, besides promised to introduce legislative changes concerning LGBTQ+ communities, in peculiar transgenders. He announced far-reaching changes, specified as the state's retention of legal designation of non-business persons, the blocking of the anticipation of formal sex correction in state papers or the ban on school transgender education. The political views were evident, for example, during discussions with conservative activists, as illustrated by the public talk with Tiffany Justice, co-founder of Moms for Liberty: “Think about it. Your kid goes to school and a fewer days later comes home with surgery"—talking about medical transit, and sex corrections identified “the chemical, physical, and emotional mutilation of our youth.” According to technological knowledge, transgender transit is an important, frequently life-saving process. In 2018, on the basis of an analysis of investigation in this field, researchers at Cornell University stated that the affirmative effects of transit include, among another things, "reduction of depression and anxiety disorders, suicide attempts". Nevertheless, Donald Trump promised extended legal reforms related to the limitation of transgender rights.
Trump's announcements about LGBTQ+ restrictions are nothing new, however. During his first political presidency, he was known for his many actions limiting LGBTQ+ rights, inter alia by introducing in 2019 a ban on the qualification of transgenders into the military under their preferred sex. In the same year, he opposed the draft amendment to the Equality Act aimed at protecting against discrimination on grounds of sex, sexual orientation and sex recognition in public life. The White home then stated that, despite the fact that the President's administration "opposed any discrimination", the task " threatens to undermine parental rights and rights of conscience".
Many human rights initiatives groups have announced preparations for measures to defend number rights in the United States. In its statement, Human Rights run declared its readiness to act on LGBTQ+ number rights. In turn, the American civilian Liberty Union ensured its preparations for advocacy for migrants. Despite the many announcements of the future president made before the elections, it is not certain what his policies and legal changes will yet look like. The details of the reforms will become clear only on 20 January 2025, erstwhile Donald Trump's second word begins.
