Trump Plans Largest U.S. Mass Deportation with AI Role as Mexican Views Harden

President-elect Donald Trump is preparing to implement the largest mass deportation operation in U.S. history, targeting undocumented residents. Artificial intelligence (AI) is expected to play a central role in this initiative, potentially enhancing the efficiency of immigration enforcement. Reports suggest that a budget request from the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) under Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas inadvertently provides Trump with an advantage in utilizing AI for this purpose. The plan, which is a signature campaign promise of Trump, has also influenced public opinion in Mexico, where views on migration have hardened, with growing support for stricter enforcement.
