Trump's Plans for Largest U.S. Deportation Operation

President-elect Donald Trump has reaffirmed his commitment to initiating what he describes as the 'largest mass deportation' in U.S. history, emphasizing that financial costs will not deter his immigration enforcement plans. Trump's victory in the recent election, which saw him defeat Kamala Harris and secure a Republican majority in the Senate, has emboldened his agenda, including rescinding Biden-era immigration policies. Despite the logistical and financial challenges of deporting the estimated 11 million undocumented immigrants, Trump insists on prioritizing those with criminal records, while expressing a willingness to allow legal immigration. This plan has sparked fear among immigrant communities, especially in sanctuary states like California, where local law enforcement has assured residents they will not target undocumented individuals. Trump's intentions have generated significant concern among immigration rights advocates and uncertainty about the practical execution of such a massive deportation operation.
