America’s immigration system has entered uncharted territory in 2025, reshaped by President Trump’s second-term agenda and a cascade of executive orders that test the very limits of constitutional law. In this special live broadcast, Sean St. Heart is joined by Andy J. Semotiuk, a distinguished U.S. and Canadian immigration and human rights lawyer, to unpack the seismic shifts now unfolding across America’s immigration landscape.
From the mass revocation of student visas and the monitoring of immigrants’ social media accounts, to the rollback of gender protections and the suspension of humanitarian programs, the administration’s policies are redefining enforcement both at the border and deep within America’s interior. The conversation will examine the revival of the Alien Enemies Act of 1798, the unprecedented use of IRS data for deportation efforts, and the constitutional clash between executive power and judicial oversight.
Andy J. Semotiuk—an accomplished lawyer, former U.N. correspondent, and long-time Forbes contributor whose immigration articles have been read by over one million readers—brings unmatched expertise to this discussion. With decades of experience representing immigrants across the U.S. and Canada, service on the Canadian Human Rights Commission, and a global perspective on law and migration, he will guide listeners through the human, legal, and economic consequences of Trump’s escalating immigration agenda.
This episode goes beyond headlines to confront the legal battles, human rights violations, and economic fallout of America’s new immigration regime. Don’t miss this urgent conversation about the future of immigration, democracy, and civil liberties in the United States.
