Inside Politics | Trump’s Border Crackdown: Security or Show of Force?

This episode of Inside Politics investigates the heated debate surrounding the Trump administration’s deployment of armed personnel in immigration enforcement. Supporters claim it's a necessary measure to restore border security and deter illegal entry. Critics, however, argue it's a case of militarised overreach—using force not just to police, but to send a political message in an election year. Host Anastasiya Lavrina begins with a report from the U.S.–Mexico border, where federal raids have drawn strong reactions from both affected families and law enforcement officials.

In the studio, she speaks with a guest who supports Trump’s approach. Initial questions explore the rationale behind deploying military-style resources. But the conversation soon shifts to the ethical, legal & societal impact of using armed power in domestic immigration policy.

Is this about public safety—or political theatre? Join us for a balanced, in-depth discussion that goes beyond headlines to the heart of one of America’s most divisive policy debates.
