Amid the long arc of American political identity, two fault lines have surfaced beneath the Trump administration at once: a public grown skeptical of its Iran strategy, and a government preparing to intensify the removal of Haitian migrants from communities they have begun to call home.

Together, these developments illuminate an administration navigating doubt on one front by doubling down on another.
