Immigration Policy Tracking Project

The Immigration Policy Tracking Project catalogues every known Trump administration immigration policy, attaches the source documents, and highlights all new 2.0 policies. Entries are organized by date and subject, searchable by key terms, filtered by 1.0 and 2.0 terms, and continually updated to report on current status.

IPTP is a project of Professor Lucas Guttentag working with Stanford and Yale law students and supported by a team of leading national immigration experts.   Learn more about IPTP.

The project began in 2017 to record and preserve a complete record of all Trump administration immigration actions. The site has been continuously updated to reflect the current status of every entry.

Each policy or action is listed as a separate entry with all relevant source documents. Entries are reviewed by consulting immigration experts before publication on the IPTP website. The goal is to provide a complete compendium of Trump administration policies adopted through rules, directives, guidance, memos, or other means in order to permit a fuller understanding of the scope of Trump-era policies and to facilitate reform. Feedback to supplement, update, or refine entries is encouraged.

Entries show the current status of each policy, including whether enjoined by judicial order or amended or rescinded by subsequent administrative action.

• Entries appear chronologically in a searchable database organized by subject area, agency affected, type of action, and other categories.
• Each entry includes the underlying source document(s) and any predecessor policies, wherever possible.
• To view all entries in chronological order, click on "View All Policies."
• Use buttons to filter for 2.0 policies, 1.0 polices, or all policies. Trump 2.0 policies are highlighted with yellow tags.
• Click on any subject tag to find all policies with the same tag.
   
• Subsequent developments affecting, enjoining, or revising a policy are noted within each entry.
• The entries are updated regularly to reflect changes in status or other developments.
• Legal challenge(s) are noted to provide case names and docket numbers and to alert users to relevant litigation. For the most recent status of a case, users should consult other sources.
   
• Predecessor policies are provided for context and analysis. Their inclusion is not an endorsement of the current or prior policy.
• The IPTP attempts to post all developments promptly but is not a real-time reporting service. Users should check regularly for updates.
