Trump to Deport Entire Families Together in Mass Deportation Plan

Dec 8, 2024, 03:30 PM

President-elect Donald Trump has outlined his stance on immigration enforcement, particularly regarding the issue of family separation during deportations. In an interview with NBC News, Trump stated that he does not want to break up families, suggesting that the only way to avoid this is by deporting families together. This approach mirrors comments made by Border Czar Tom Homan in a past interview. Trump's policy would involve deporting entire families, including those with mixed immigration status, as part of his broader plan for mass deportations, which are set to start in 43 days. This comes amidst discussions on ending birthright citizenship and potentially affecting Dreamers, although Trump has expressed a desire for Dreamers to stay in the country.
