Trump's Immigration Plans Signal Mass Deportation Challenges

The incoming Trump administration's proposed immigration policies could result in mass deportations, affecting millions of unauthorized immigrants and disrupting communities and industries across the U.S.

President-elect Donald Trump has pledged to implement mass deportations targeting unauthorized immigrants, including those with Temporary Protected Status (TPS) and Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA).
Approximately 11-14 million immigrants in the U.S. lack legal status or hold temporary protections, with significant populations in states like California, Texas, and Florida.
Mass deportations could cost an estimated $315 billion and face logistical hurdles, including limited detention capacity and a significant backlog in immigration court cases.
Key industries such as agriculture, reliant on migrant labor, could face severe disruptions, while millions of U.S. citizens in mixed-status households risk family separations.
State and local policies, such as sanctuary laws and cooperation with federal enforcement, will shape the scope and impact of deportation efforts in various regions.
