Trump to Invoke Alien Enemies Act for Deportations

President-elect Donald Trump has pledged to launch a mass deportation program targeting undocumented immigrants, invoking the Alien Enemies Act of 1798, and scaling back humanitarian protections such as DACA and Temporary Protected Status (TPS). This has created widespread fear among immigrant communities, with many DACA recipients and other undocumented individuals uncertain about their future in the U.S. Trump's plans include targeting recent arrivals and expanding deportation guidelines, with Tom Homan appointed as the 'border czar' to oversee these efforts. Immigrant advocates are preparing to combat these policies legally and through advocacy, drawing on past experiences from Trump's first presidency. Despite the looming threat of deportations, some undocumented individuals remain supportive of Trump due to economic reasons, reflecting a divide within these communities.
