Trump Plans Largest Deportation Operation, Aiming to Deport 1.5 Million Including 18,000 Indians
Dec 13, 2024, 11:30 AM
President-elect Donald Trump has announced plans for what would be the largest deportation operation in U.S. history, targeting 1.5 million individuals, including nearly 18,000 undocumented Indian nationals. This initiative has sparked a range of reactions from political leaders and economic analysts. New York City Mayor Eric Adams met with Trump's incoming border czar, Tom Homan, to discuss strategies for deporting illegal migrants, particularly those with criminal records, while maintaining New York's status as a sanctuary city. Adams emphasized public safety and the need to address violent crimes committed by undocumented immigrants. A coalition of 26 Republican governors has pledged support for Trump's deportation plan, citing public safety and national security as primary concerns. However, economic experts warn that such mass deportations could severely damage the U.S. economy, predicting a rise in prices and a drop in production and employment. The feasibility of the plan is questioned due to logistical challenges and the lack of infrastructure to handle such a large-scale operation.
