In the fall of 2017, Guttentag assembled a group of law students in a wood-panelled room at Yale. He proposed creating a communally sourced database of every change that Trump made to the immigration system. âSo many things have happened in year one of Trump that are already receding from our memory, because weâre looking at the latest disaster,â he said. âIf we donât keep track, it will take a new Administration years just to unearth everything thatâs happened.â They called it the Immigration Policy Tracking Project. Guttentag hoped that the database would prove useful to whoever succeeded Trump. âGoing forward, weâre going to capture everything,â he told the team. âSomeday weâll need a road map for reversing all this damage.â
