NEW YORK, N.Y. — Clocking in at over 1 hour and 48 minutes, President Trump delivered his 2026 State of the Union last night. Maegan Llerena, Co-Executive Director of Make the Road Action, issued a response to this year’s address:

“Last night, while Trump bragged about cutting food stamp benefits, eradicating Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion efforts, and making ICE’s budget the size of some country’s armies, here is what he didn’t mention: millions of people are now facing higher premiums for healthcare, citizens are being gunned down in our streets, and immigrants and citizens alike are being mistreated and detained at alarming rates at dangerous concentration camps.”

“No speech can defeat the facts: people across America have grown tired of Trump’s fake promises and dehumanizing policies—over 58% of Americans disapprove of ICE’s violent tactics. While Big Tech billionaires like Palantir CEO Alex Karp profit off of the atrocities being committed against immigrants in our communities, we at Make the Road, with over 70,000 members across five states, continue to fight back against the attacks on civil rights and stand up to corporate greed and the rising tide of authoritarianism in our country.”
