Dec 10, 2024, 09:11 PM

Republican-led states are implementing strategies to support President-elect Donald Trump's anticipated mass deportation initiative. Governors and lawmakers in these states, including Missouri, are proposing measures that align with Trump's campaign pledge to deport millions of undocumented immigrants. This comes as Trump prepares to take office in January, with immigration policy reform being a top priority for his administration. The plans include cooperation with federal authorities to facilitate deportations, with some states even considering legislation to empower local law enforcement to assist in immigration enforcement. The moves are seen as a response to what Trump and his supporters describe as a record-breaking surge in illegal immigration under the Biden-Harris administration. Incoming Border Czar Tom Homan has warned states that refuse to comply with Trump's policies.
