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.
