The United States has quickly eroded human rights safeguards a year into the second Trump administration, according to Amnesty International.
The human rights organization released its report Jan. 20, one year since President Donald Trump took office, saying the nation has adopted increasingly authoritarian practices against citizens and migrants alike. The report cited militarized responses to protests against immigration enforcement, most recently in Minnesota.
"What we are witnessing is a full-blown human rights emergency that has actually emerged pretty quickly over this past year," Paul O’Brien, executive director of the nonprofit Amnesty International USA, said in an interview. "By shredding norms and by concentrating power, President Trump and his administration are making it harder and harder for anyone to hold him accountable."
