Trump unveils new mass deportation plans for potential second term

chicagotribune.com

Donald Trump is outlining new plans for mass deportations in his current presidential campaign. He aims to use wartime powers, enlist governors, and involve the military to carry out what he calls the largest deportation program in U.S. history. Previously, Trump's administration deported fewer than 350,000 people annually, while Barack Obama deported 432,000 in 2013. Trump's new strategy includes invoking the Alien Enemies Act and deploying the National Guard, despite potential legal and logistical challenges. Experts note that Trump's plans may face significant obstacles, including military reluctance and legal rights for immigrants. Local governments have also limited cooperation with federal authorities, complicating enforcement efforts.
