ACLU Sues Government Over Mass Deportation Plans

President-elect Donald Trump is reaffirming his commitment to mass deportations of undocumented immigrants once he takes office, causing concern among immigration attorneys and advocates. The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) has filed a federal lawsuit seeking information on how U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) plans to implement these deportations, particularly regarding its 'ICE Air Operations' for deportation flights. Immigration attorneys report that their clients are anxious about Trump's plans, with many fearing significant workforce disruptions as millions could be targeted for removal. Trump has indicated he will utilize various methods to enhance deportation efforts, including military support and collaboration with local law enforcement. Legal experts argue that the lack of transparency from ICE regarding its operational capabilities raises serious civil rights concerns. The lawsuit reflects growing alarm over the potential implications of Trump's immigration policies on millions of individuals living in the U.S.
