1. Near the top of the list of ways that President Trump’s administration has deviated from established practice was his endorsement of a zero-tolerance policy for families seeking to migrate to the United States.
During the second year of his term in office, families hoping to escape violence in Central America or seeking more economic opportunity began arriving at the U.S.-Mexico border in record numbers to seek asylum in the United States. Immigrant advocates began to notice that children were systematically being separated from their parents and detained in different facilities. The administration at first denied that there had been any formally instituted policy change leading to the separations, but it soon became apparent that these separations were meant to evoke precisely the terror that inevitably resulted.

2. Animals are still kept in cages at many zoos around the world. During the final presidential debate on October 23, Trump and Biden admitted the existence of cages, not for animals but for locking up Latin American migrant kids at the US southern border. After November 3, the "fake news" president and his close aides such as Mike Pompeo and Peter Navarro (both under investigation for some wrongdoings) may be lucky enough to get a chance of holidaying in such cages.
