Trump Proposes Mass Deportation Plan

Donald Trump's immigration plan focuses heavily on mass deportation, with a promise to initiate the largest domestic deportation operation in U.S. history on his first day in office. This plan includes targeting sanctuary cities and utilizing the 1798 Alien Enemies Act to expedite deportations, particularly of known or suspected criminals. Trump aims to mobilize various federal agencies and leverage funding as pressure against resistant jurisdictions, with estimates suggesting up to one million deportations per year. However, this initiative faces significant opposition from immigrant advocates, who argue it would lead to humanitarian crises and societal division. Legal challenges are anticipated, particularly from the American Civil Liberties Union, regarding the extent of executive power in implementing such measures. Trump's prior administration struggled with deportation levels, and executing this ambitious plan would require substantial resources and personnel, raising questions about its feasibility.
