Trump's Mass Deportation Plan Faces Legal, Economic, and Humanitarian Pushback

President-elect Donald Trump's sweeping immigration agenda, including mass deportations and detention camps, is met with criticism from experts, activists, and local governments.

• Donald Trump has pledged to deport millions of undocumented immigrants, but experts highlight significant legal, economic, and logistical challenges to executing such a plan.
• Activists and immigrant rights groups are mobilizing to counter the proposed policies, including legal action and community-based resistance strategies.
• Trump has suggested building detention camps to house migrants awaiting deportation, raising concerns from human rights organizations about potential civil rights violations.
• Local governments, including sanctuary cities and states like California and New Mexico, have vowed to resist federal efforts to involve local law enforcement in deportations.
• Critics argue that the proposed deportation program could harm key economic sectors, such as agriculture and construction, and disrupt long-established immigrant communities.
