Trump's Mass Deportation Plan to Include Family Detention Centers and New Facilities Starting January 20, 2025

President-elect Donald Trump is set to implement a mass deportation plan upon taking office on January 20, 2025. His administration's strategy, outlined by incoming Border Czar Tom Homan, includes the revival of family detention centers for undocumented immigrants, a policy that had been discontinued under the Biden administration in 2021. Homan indicated that migrant families, including those with U.S.-born children, will be detained, and the government will not hesitate to deport parents regardless of their children's citizenship status. The administration plans to build new facilities for detained families and may employ private contractors to assist in tracking down undocumented minors. Homan emphasized that while families will not be separated, they may face difficult choices regarding their U.S.-born children during the deportation process. This policy shift has sparked discussions on its implications for immigration enforcement and the treatment of families at the border.
