The family separation policy under the first Trump administration was a controversial immigration enforcement strategy implemented in the United States from 2017 to 2018,aimed at deterring illegal immigration by separating migrant children from their parents or guardians. The policy,presented to the public as a "zero tolerance" approach,was intended to encourage tougher legislation and discourage unauthorized crossings. In some cases,families following the legal procedure to apply for asylum at official border crossings were also separated. Under the policy,federal authorities separated children and infants from parents or guardians with whom they had entered the US. The adults were prosecuted and held in federal jails or deported,and the children were placed under the supervision of the US Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). Prior to their transfer to HHS,some children spent three weeks or more in overcrowded border control centers,where they reported minimal food,no access to clean clothes or bathing facilities,and no adult caretakers;girls as young as ten were taking care of younger children.
Protests against the Trump administration family separation policy are a reaction to the Trump administration policy of separating children from their parents or guardians who crossed the U.S. border either illegally or to request asylum,jailing the adults and locating the minors at separate facilities under the care of the Department of Health and Human Services.

The court found that Defendants did not provide a legally adequate reason for ending the DACA program and that the decision to end DACA was arbitrary and capricious. Defendants have appealed the decision to the Second Circuit Court of Appeals.
Biden v. Sierra Club was a United States Supreme Court case involving the appropriation of funds used to expand the Mexico–United States barrier under the presidency of Donald Trump,colloquially known as the Trump wall. Congress did not grant direct appropriations to fund expansion of the wall,leading Trump to sign the National Emergency Concerning the Southern Border of the United States in February 2019 which,citing his powers under the National Emergency Act,took approximately US$8 billion of funds appropriated to military spending towards construction of the wall. Numerous states and non-governmental organizations filed suit shortly after the order,resulting in a Ninth Circuit ruling that deemed the transfer of funds inappropriate under the Appropriations Clause and leading to the Supreme Court challenge.
