Trump advances mass deportation plan with military support and new orders

President Donald Trump is implementing his mass deportation plan, deploying military troops to the southern border and empowering immigration officers to conduct raids. This follows his promise to initiate large-scale deportations, which has heightened fear in immigrant communities. Trump rescinded Biden-era immigration policies and signed new orders, including declaring a border emergency. He has expanded the authority of various federal agencies to arrest undocumented immigrants, leading to a significant increase in arrests across multiple states. While some military personnel have arrived at the border, reports indicate a decrease in migrant encounters. Trump has also reinstated the "remain in Mexico" policy for asylum seekers, although Mexico's government has not agreed to this change.
