Trump unveils mass deportation plan targeting millions of noncitizens in the U.S

Former President Donald Trump has announced a plan for mass deportation aimed at removing up to 20 million noncitizens from the U.S. This initiative would involve military deployment and local police to round up individuals, potentially affecting U.S. citizens and legal residents. Trump's approach is reminiscent of past deportation efforts, which often mistakenly targeted citizens. His plan could lead to significant community disruption, as many undocumented immigrants have lived in the U.S. for over 15 years and have U.S. citizen family members. The use of flawed databases to identify undocumented individuals raises concerns about wrongful detentions. Historical precedents show that mass deportations can ensnare citizens, leading to fears of racial profiling and community instability.
