Local Governments and Military Key in Trump's Mass Deportation Strategy Post Re-election

Nov 20, 2024, 08:19 PM

Local governments in the United States are set to play a crucial role in President Donald Trump's strategy to accelerate the mass deportation of over 11 million undocumented immigrants. Trump's plan involves leveraging state and local police departments to facilitate these deportations. Additionally, Trump aims to eliminate the CHNV parole program, which affects Cuban, Venezuelan, Haitian, and Nicaraguan immigrants, replacing it with stricter immigration policies. Northern states like New York, which have few statewide policies limiting cooperation with federal immigration enforcement, are expected to see increased deportation activities. Some Republican Senators have expressed concerns about Trump using the military for deportations. Trump's re-election has given him a mandate to implement these policies.
