Trump's Mass Deportation Plans
Donald Trump has proposed declaring a national emergency to deport approximately 11 million undocumented immigrants in the U.S., a plan that could result in devastating impacts for countless families. Advocacy groups and legal organizations are inundated with calls from worried individuals fearing for their safety and the loss of loved ones. Experts have raised concerns over the feasibility of such mass deportations, given the current backlog of immigration cases totaling around 4 million, which could feasibly take over four years to resolve. Questions surrounding the logistics of the deportation process, such as housing for deportees and the costs involved, which may reach up to $350 billion, remain largely unanswered.
