Trump Vows Largest Mass Deportation of 20 Million Undocumented Immigrants Using US Army

Nov 10, 2024, 11:47 AM

President-elect Donald Trump has promised to initiate the largest mass deportation operation in American history upon taking office, targeting the estimated 12-20 million undocumented immigrants in the U.S. His campaign has vowed to remove all 20 million people believed to be in the country illegally, with a focus on deporting the 'worst of the worst' first. Trump plans to utilize the U.S. Army for this operation, according to former immigration enforcement chief Tom Homan. This approach has sparked fear among immigrant communities, with some describing the upcoming period as 'scary'. The Trump administration's focus on mass deportation is seen as a priority to unite the country, as stated by Vivek Ramaswamy. If Trump manages to deport even 5 million, it could have significant implications for immigrant workers and the economy.
