Antigua and Barbuda to be affected by Trump’s New Executive Order

23 January 2025 - 05:40

US President Donald Trump

The Cabinet has evaluated the potential repercussions of the Trump administration’s policy decisions on the economy, the movement of individuals between the two nations, and the citizenship matters raised by the executive orders issued by the U.S. President.

Shortly after his inauguration, President Donald Trump outlined a series of stringent measures aimed at curbing unauthorized border crossings and initiating the deportation of a significant number of individuals residing in the United States without legal status.

These policy shifts were anticipated to be implemented swiftly in the initial hours and days of his second term, following a campaign in which Trump pledged to initiate the most extensive deportation effort in the nation’s history.

Trump also announced the suspension of physical entry for “aliens engaged in the invasion” across the southern border.

He instructed his Cabinet members to “take all appropriate action to repel, repatriate, or remove any alien engaged in the invasion,” which included explicitly revoking the right of migrants to file for asylum.

Through additional executive actions, Trump has sought to alter the definition of birthright citizenship, which is currently safeguarded by the 14th Amendment of the Constitution, and has suspended the U.S. Refugee Admissions Program.

While the Cabinet concentrated on assessing how Trump’s new policy directions would affect Antigua and Barbuda, it was also acknowledged that the broader Caribbean region is likely to experience similar impacts.

It was agreed that Antigua and Barbuda’s Embassy in the United States will remain vigilant in monitoring these developments.

    • This could be a good thing. Good talent leaves this county in droves to build a country that isn’t theirs and that doesn’t want them. Scaring enough decent people to stay home and build their own country instead of moving to a one bedroom in the Bronx with 10 people may be just what we need. America is no promise land. We need to understand that.

    • Y’all need to understand the majority of illegals they’re going after are the ones crossing the borders by FOOT. These people tend to live in areas that are overcrowded with other illegals. For the most part, Antiguans enters the US
      LEGALLY through the airports.
      Illegal Antiguans are at very low risk of being deported by this dragnet. How many illegal Antiguans were returned to Antigua during the Obama,1stTrump or Biden administrations? That’s what you can expect this time too.
