Trump unveils new mass deportation plans for potential second term

thestar.com

Donald Trump is outlining new plans for mass deportations in his current presidential campaign. He aims to use wartime powers, military support, and cooperation with state governors to implement a large-scale deportation program. During his presidency, Trump deported fewer than 350,000 people annually, while his predecessor, Barack Obama, deported 432,000 in 2013. Trump's new strategy may involve invoking the Alien Enemies Act to bypass legal restrictions on military involvement in civilian law enforcement. Challenges remain, including legal hurdles and the logistics of detaining individuals before deportation. Many local governments have limited cooperation with federal immigration authorities, complicating Trump's plans further.
