Trump's Second Term Sets Stage for Aggressive Immigration Crackdown

President-elect Trump plans mass deportations and sweeping immigration reforms, supported by key appointments of hardline officials.

Donald Trump has announced plans for mass deportations of undocumented immigrants, aiming to use military and law enforcement resources to execute the largest deportation operation in U.S. history.
Key figures in the administration include Stephen Miller, Tom Homan, and Kristi Noem, all of whom have signaled aggressive approaches to immigration enforcement and policy changes.
Rights groups and humanitarian organizations are preparing for legal battles and increased pressure, with concerns about family separations, criminalization of aid, and challenges to birthright citizenship.
Advocacy groups and refugee organizations are bolstering their resources and volunteer networks to support affected communities and resist anticipated policy shifts.
Critics warn of potential human rights violations, logistical challenges, and the societal impact of large-scale deportations, while the administration promises a 'humane and targeted' enforcement operation.
