Trump Proposes Unprecedented Mass Deportation Plan for Second Term
The former president aims to use wartime powers and the military to deport millions of undocumented immigrants, despite significant logistical and legal challenges.
- Donald Trump plans to invoke the Alien Enemies Act and deploy the National Guard to carry out mass deportations if re-elected.
- Experts highlight the logistical difficulties of deporting 11 million undocumented immigrants, including limited detention capacity and legal constraints.
- Trump's previous deportation efforts fell short of his goals, with deportations never exceeding 350,000 annually during his presidency.
- Critics warn that the plan could lead to a 'police state' atmosphere, affecting all communities and potentially violating constitutional protections.
- Military leaders and legal scholars express concerns about the feasibility and ethical implications of involving the military in domestic immigration enforcement.
