U.S President Donald Trump
US President Donald Trump has ordered Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents to carry out the “largest mass deportation program in history,” targeting undocumented immigrants in major cities like Los Angeles, Chicago, and New York.
Trump’s directive instructs ICE agents to “do all in their power” to deliver mass deportations, sparking widespread protests and criticism from Democrats.
The estimated 11 million undocumented immigrants living in the US would be significantly impacted, with potential consequences for millions of families and the economy.
Trump’s administration has prioritized convicted criminals for deportation but aims to remove all undocumented immigrants.
The mass deportation plan has raised concerns about its potential economic impact, with experts predicting a significant loss in economic contributions and potential trillion-dollar costs.
The administration’s guidance signals the most sweeping removal effort to date, although no timetable or numerical targets have been released.
Critics argue that mass deportations would be costly and unworkable without massive detention camps, and legal battles are brewing over the plan’s legitimacy.
Trump’s tough immigration stance has sparked protests and diplomatic tensions, with many questioning the morality and practicality of such a large-scale deportation effort.
