Why it matters
The denouncement of Trump's immigration proposals by Latino and immigrant rights groups highlights the ongoing battle for equality and democracy. The pushback against authoritarianism and support for Biden's economic policies are crucial in shaping the political landscape and voter engagement strategies.
What the papers say
The New York Times reports on Latino and immigrant rights groups denouncing Trump's immigration proposals and Libre's voter engagement effort targeting Biden's economic policies. The Guardian covers the rally in Milwaukee against authoritarianism and Trump's immigration policy. Axios discusses the surprising support among Democrats for some of Trump's immigration plans.
How we got here
The denouncement of Trump's immigration proposals stems from his recent interview where he described migrants as an 'invasion' and outlined plans for mass deportations. The rally in Milwaukee extended beyond immigration to fear of authoritarianism under Trump. Libre's voter engagement effort aims to hold lawmakers accountable for supporting what they call 'Bidenomics.' Democrats expressing support for some of Trump's immigration plans reflects a growing concern about illegal migrant crossings.
