Trump's Mass Deportation Plan Includes Military, 5 Executive Orders

Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum has outlined a plan to support Mexicans living in the U.S. in the event of mass deportations promised by President-elect Donald Trump. Trump has confirmed his intention to use the military to carry out what he has described as the largest mass deportation in American history, a move that includes issuing 5 executive orders on his first day in office, expanding detention centers, and declaring a national emergency. A CBS News poll indicates that 57% of Americans approve of Trump's plan to deport all illegal immigrants, while some Republican lawmakers suggest focusing only on deporting criminal fugitives. Trump's pledge has led to preparations by civil groups in the U.S. to counter the policy, and Mexican migrant shelters are bracing for an influx of returnees. The issue has also placed sanctuary cities in a challenging position as public opinion leans towards supporting mass deportations.
