Trump Plans Mass Deportations Under Project 2025 Using 1798 Law
Oct 16, 2024, 08:28 AM
Former President Donald Trump plans to invoke the Alien Enemies Act of 1798, an outdated law last used during World War II internments, to carry out mass deportations of illegal immigrants if he takes office again. This move is part of his Project 2025 agenda and involves using a 226-year-old law that allows the president to deport individuals from countries with which the United States is at war. Trump has stated, "We are going to end all sanctuary cities immediately," indicating he may use executive orders and potentially the military to implement his immigration policies. His campaign suggests the plan could involve deporting up to 25 million undocumented immigrants. He and his allies have been planning this for years as a central part of his immigration strategy.
