The order was just one of many controversial actions by the Trump administration, including pardoning individuals involved in the Capitol riot and addressing immigration policy. Amidst the uncertainty of Trump’s presidency, questions arise about the long-term effects on the U.S.
In Rhode Island, Governor Dan McKee and Providence Mayor Brett Smiley have taken a stance on immigrants without legal status, emphasizing collaboration with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement on criminal cases but not seeking to round up or expel immigrants. McKee also advocates for an amnesty program to provide a path to citizenship for these individuals. The state’s political landscape faces challenges such as addressing structural deficits and housing crises.
As U.S. Senator Jack Reed and others navigate the changing political climate, the state is witnessing growth in areas like airport traffic and a push for offshore wind farms.
