Trump Promised Record Deportations. How's That Going?
President Donald Trump has vowed to carry out the largest deportation campaign in US history, a promise that mirrors one he made but failed to fulfill during his first term. This time, Trump has shown greater determination.
He has expanded the scope of his ambitions to include anyone in the country illegally and moved to strip temporary deportation protections from more than a million non-citizens. His administration has targeted for eviction thousands of student visa holders and some green card holders, employed wartime powers to deport alleged gang members, deployed thousands of active-duty troops to the southwest border and expanded their authorities there, and offered incentives for unauthorized immigrants to 'self deport.' He's even gone so far as to suggest expelling from the country US citizens who've committed crimes.
