Former Pres. Donald Trump, who has attempted to distance himself from Project 2025, an authoritarian blueprint for the next conservative U.S. presidency, would be hard pressed to find any daylight between his immigration policy and that advocated by Project 2025. The cornerstone of both policies is the militaristic removal of unauthorized immigrants, a move that would be disastrous for Nevada families and its economy.
