Trump's Mass Deportation Plan Faces Criticism and Cost Concerns

Donald Trump's proposed deportation strategy could impact millions, including U.S. citizens, and cost hundreds of billions annually.

Trump's plan aims to deport up to 20 million noncitizens, risking the inclusion of U.S. citizens and legal residents in these efforts.
The proposed use of military and local police for mass deportations raises concerns about civil liberties and potential human rights violations.
Experts estimate the annual cost of deporting one million immigrants could range from $88 billion to $315 billion, with broader economic repercussions.
Critics highlight the social and economic toll, including family separations and disruptions to communities and industries reliant on immigrant labor.
Polls show conflicting public opinions on mass deportation, with many supporting pathways to citizenship over widespread removals.
