Trump's Proposed Mass Deportation Plan Faces Legal and Operational Hurdles

Former President Trump aims to revive a large-scale deportation program, but faces challenges in implementing it due to legal and logistical constraints.

  • Trump's plan for mass deportations involves invoking the Alien Enemies Act, a rarely used law from the 18th century.
  • Historical precedents like Operation Wetback highlight the potential for widespread disruption and wrongful deportations.
  • Trump's proposal could target up to 1 million individuals, including those with longstanding ties to the U.S., raising concerns about community impacts.
  • Experts warn of significant logistical challenges, including the need for increased law enforcement capacity and potential legal battles.
  • Critics argue that the plan could lead to severe economic and social consequences, affecting both immigrant and non-immigrant communities.
