President-elect Donald Trump has reiterated his commitment to mass deportations of millions of immigrants, a central promise of his campaign. In his first interview since winning the election, Trump described the planned deportations as the 'largest in American history' and stated that he has 'no choice' but to carry out these plans. The announcement has sparked anxiety in immigrant communities and led to protests in cities such as Seattle, where thousands gathered outside the Space Needle, and New York. Trump has indicated that border control will be among his first priorities, and there is speculation that military resources may be used to enforce the deportations. Tom Homan has been suggested as a potential ICE Director to oversee the implementation of these plans.
