100 days. That's how long Donald Trump's been in office in 2025.
While this moment is usually a time to measure how the administration is faring, in many ways, the administration is a reflection of who we are as a nation.

President Donald Trump swore to tackle illegal immigration in his first moments in office. His administration says he's living up to his word, but his actions over the last 100 days have raised big questions about treatment of immigrants under U.S. law.
This includes ramping up pressure on immigrants – those here legally and without legal status – to leave the United States of their own volition, or "self deport."

It's been three years since Roe v. Wade was overturned by the Supreme Court.
The abortion access landscape has changed dramatically in that time. The procedure has been banned in 12 states with limited exceptions. Four states have banned abortion after six weeks. Now, several states are weighing bills that would treat abortion as homicide.

The Trump administration's efforts to deport migrants it says are gang members have hit several legal roadblocks in recent days. Federal judges and the Supreme Court have blocked the government from deporting more migrants under a seldom used, 18th-century wartime law.
