Trump unveils new mass deportation plans for 2024 campaign
Donald Trump is outlining new plans for mass deportations in his 2024 presidential campaign. He aims to use wartime powers, military support, and cooperation with state governors to deport millions of undocumented immigrants, a significant shift from his previous administration's limited deportation efforts. During his presidency, Trump deported fewer than 350,000 people annually, while Barack Obama reached a peak of 432,000 in 2013. Trump's current strategy includes invoking the Alien Enemies Act and deploying the National Guard, although legal and logistical challenges remain. Experts note that Trump's proposals may face resistance from the military and local governments, which have become less cooperative with federal immigration efforts. The feasibility of his plans is questioned, given the complexities of immigration law and the current political landscape.
