Trump administration aims to increase deportations significantly
Vice President JD Vance announced that the Trump administration plans to significantly increase deportations of illegal immigrants. He stated that the administration is shifting focus from controlling the southern border to removing migrants, following what he described as a challenging situation left by the Biden administration. Vance highlighted that deportation numbers are expected to rise as the administration builds up resources for Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). He mentioned efforts to encourage self-deportation and repurpose existing tools to support this goal. The administration faces challenges due to limited detention space for migrants. Officials are collaborating with various agencies to increase capacity and have considered using Guantanamo Bay for holding some criminal migrants temporarily.
