Following the news out of Washington, D.C. can be overwhelming. I'm Scott Detrow, and NPR has a podcast that can help. It's called Trump's Terms. Stories about big changes the 47th president is pursuing on his own terms. Each episode is short, usually around five minutes or so. We keep it calm and factual. We help you follow what matters, and we leave out what doesn't.
Listen to Trump's Terms from NPR.

By the time that you hear this, things may have changed, but I'll hopefully be an engaged man to a pretty shocked and surprised and amazing fiancée. Enjoy the show.

And today on the show, we take a look at how President Trump's immigration policies are developing so far. Jimena, you've been all over this beat. Immigration, as you know, has always been a major focus for Trump, and it was a really big focus of the 2024 campaign. What's happened so far?
Well, Trump kicked off his second term by immediately signing a slew of executive actions aimed at limiting both illegal and legal migration. And this included stopping pathways to seek refugee or asylum status and bolstering the different government resources to arrest, detain and deport people.
