Trump Promises Largest Deportation Operation in History

Critics Question Feasibility and Ethics of Proposed Immigration Crackdown

Donald Trump promises to initiate the largest domestic deportation operation in American history, surpassing the 1950s 'Operation Wetback'.
Despite his promises, Trump's administration deported about one-third as many immigrants in the country illegally from the interior during its first four fiscal years as the Obama administration did during the same time frame.
Trump's rhetoric on immigration has been criticized for echoing writings from Hitler about the 'purity' of Aryan blood, used by Nazi Germany to justify the Holocaust.
Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, running against Trump for the Republican presidential nomination, criticized Trump for not delivering on his 2016 promise of a large-scale deportation program.
Trump's administration was more hostile to immigration than any administration in decades, preventing people from applying for asylum at the southwest border, separating children from their families, and building a border wall in environmentally sensitive areas.
