Trump to Issue 100 Executive Orders for Largest Deportation Operation, Prompting Self-Deportations

Jan 17, 2025, 01:03 PM

President-elect Donald Trump is set to launch a significant immigration crackdown on his first day in office, with plans to issue over 100 executive orders. These orders are expected to initiate what Trump has described as the 'largest deportation operation in U.S. history.' The actions will target various groups, including immigrants with criminal records, those with final deportation orders, and individuals with temporary protections such as Temporary Protected Status (TPS) and those who used the CBP One app for legal entry. Trump's administration aims to reverse Biden-era policies, including reinstating Title 42 and ending programs like the humanitarian parole for immigrants from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua, and Venezuela. The incoming administration's plans have already prompted some immigrants to leave the U.S. in what is being referred to as 'self-deportations,' driven by fears of Trump's mass deportation promises.
