Trump's deportation plan could target over 11 million migrants and cost $300 billion

Donald Trump's mass deportation plan, called "Operation Aurora," could target over 11 million undocumented migrants and cost more than $300 billion. This plan has raised concerns among immigrant advocacy groups about the potential impact on families and communities. Polling data shows that while some voters support mass deportations, a majority favor pathways to legal status for undocumented migrants. Advocacy groups are preparing to challenge Trump's plans in court, citing previous successful lawsuits against similar policies. The plan may utilize the Alien Enemies Act, allowing the removal of noncitizens during a declared emergency. Advocacy groups warn of increased harassment and intimidation against immigrants, urging local leaders to take action before Trump's inauguration on January 20, 2025.
