Trump Promises Largest Mass Deportation of 11 Million Immigrants in U.S. History Starting January 20, 2025

President-elect Donald Trump is set to take office on January 20, 2025, and has pledged to implement the largest mass deportation operation in U.S. history. This initiative aims to target illegal immigration and will focus on areas with significant immigrant populations. As a result of this promise, some migrants are reportedly choosing to self-deport out of fear of potential deportation. Experts have indicated that the administration will face various hurdles in executing this plan, which could significantly impact the lives of millions of undocumented immigrants in the country. Advocacy groups and migrant families are preparing for sweeping changes in immigration policy, with concerns that risks for asylum seekers may increase under the new administration. Additionally, the economic implications of deporting a substantial portion of the estimated 11 million undocumented immigrants in the U.S. are expected to be considerable.
