President-elect Donald Trump has announced plans for what could be the largest deportation operation in U.S. history, focusing on mass deportations of undocumented migrants. Trump's incoming border chief, Tom Homan, is already drafting plans for processing facilities on 1,400 acres of land in Texas offered by the Texas General Land Office. This initiative aims to deport families together, ensuring they are not separated. New York City Mayor Eric Adams has shown support for the deportation plan, indicating a shift in local politics towards addressing illegal immigration. The plan has sparked concerns among immigrant communities, with some organizations warning of potential economic and societal impacts. Homan has promised to start the operation on January 20th, 2025, immediately after Trump's inauguration, and has vowed to prosecute local officials who obstruct the process.
