Trump and N.Y., 100 days in: Immigration crackdown, penalized universities, congestion pricing showdown
President Donald Trump has wasted little time in aggressively flexing the powers of the executive branch since returning to the Oval Office 100 days ago.
Many of his policies — including cracking down on undocumented immigrants, penalizing universities and seeking to end congestion pricing — have affected his native New York in profound ways.
His Department of Justice has sued New York State over its “sanctuary” policies.
