Donald Trump's involvement in the TikTok issue stems from his actions as President of the United States in 2020. Back then, he sought to ban TikTok over national security concerns, citing fears that the app, owned by the Chinese company ByteDance, could potentially share user data with the Chinese government. His administration attempted to force ByteDance to sell TikTok to a U.S. company or face a nationwide ban.

Following Donald Trump's inauguration as the 47th President of the United States, the country is witnessing a wave of large-scale anti-immigration raids. According to reports, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents have launched operations targeting undocumented immigrants across major cities, including New York, Miami, and Chicago. These raids have sparked widespread fear among migrant communities, who now face the threat of immediate deportation. The government is reportedly focusing on detaining individuals with previous criminal records or those in violation of immigration laws. With Trump vowing to intensify immigration enforcement, human rights groups have raised concerns over the potential for widespread detentions and the disruption of families. As the administration pushes for tougher immigration policies, the raid operations have heightened tensions and uncertainty among both legal and undocumented migrants nationwide.
