Trump defends immigration crackdown at State of Union as approval ratings plummet

Trump defends immigration crackdown during State of the Union, presenting victims harmed by crimes committed by undocumented immigrants to bolster his case amid declining approval ratings.

The president frames border security and immigration enforcement as essential to public safety, arguing for stricter policies and crackdown measures.

Supporters praise the aggressive stance, while critics warn of the human impact and potential policy overreach as approval numbers slide.
