- How AAPI adults are being affected by Trump’s immigration crackdown, according to a new poll
A new poll reveals that half of Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) adults have experienced or witnessed disruptions such as detentions, deportation fears, or changed routines due to Trump administration immigration policies. Most AAPI adults believe the U.S. is no longer a welcoming place for immigrants, with 60% stating it 'used to be a great country for immigrants but is not anymore.' The poll highlights cultural and policy tensions following immigration crackdowns, including court challenges to visa fee hikes and asylum bans.
