How would Jews fleeing Europe have fared under Trump’s anti-immigration policies?

Summary: The article argues that Donald Trump’s immigration agenda reflects a racially selective vision of who is “worthy” of coming to the United States—favoring white, Nordic, Christian, conservative, and self-sufficient individuals—and likens this to Nazi-style purity ideals. Trump has recently issued openly racist statements, vowing to stop migration from “all Third World countries” and deport people he says are “non-compatible with Western Civilization.”

Under Trump’s crackdown, about 66,000 migrants are detained, many without criminal records, and viral videos show ICE agents using aggressive tactics. The administration is criticized for prioritizing white South African refugees while excluding Palestinians displaced by war, revealing what the article calls racial and ideological bias. New visa rules also screen out applicants who are elderly, overweight, or have chronic illnesses, which the article views as a rejection of compassion.

However, the piece highlights growing public resistance. Across the U.S., residents, churches, students, and even judges are confronting ICE actions—organizing vigils, rapid-response networks, and protests to protect immigrant neighbors. Several communities have intervened to stop mistaken arrests, and high school students have protested the detention of classmates.

The article concludes that grassroots solidarity offers hope: if Trump intensifies mass deportations of those he labels “non-compatible,” public backlash and resistance are likely to grow stronger.
