Trump Promises Largest Deportation Operation Targeting 11 Million Undocumented Immigrants as He Prepares for Inauguration on January 20, 2025

President-elect Donald Trump has outlined plans for mass deportations as part of his immigration policy, promising the largest deportation operation in U.S. history. With his inauguration set for January 20, 2025, Trump aims to implement these measures immediately. His strategy is expected to target the estimated 11 million undocumented immigrants living in the country, many of whom have resided in the U.S. for over a decade. This initiative raises concerns among California farmers, who rely heavily on immigrant labor and fear that such policies could significantly impact their workforce and financial stability. Trump's commitment to border security and law enforcement has been a cornerstone of his campaign, and he has indicated that deportations will be a top priority upon taking office.
