President-elect Donald Trump has reiterated his campaign promise of mass deportations of illegal immigrants, stating he plans to declare a national emergency and use the US military to carry out his plan upon taking office in January. Legal challenges may include due process rights of immigrants and co-operation with local law enforcement, as well as potential legal battles with immigration and human rights activists. Logistically, logistical challenges of mass deportations include the capacity of ICE agents, the deportation process itself, and diplomatic cooperation with receiving countries. Financial and political costs of such an endeavor would be significant, with estimates running into tens or hundreds of billions of dollars. Experts suggest that increased border enforcement and cracking down on companies that hire undocumented migrants would be necessary to complement any deportation program. While a comparable mass deportation program occurred in 1954, it was mainly focused on Mexican nationals and lacked due process, making it incomparable to a modern-day mass deportation program. The potential political and PR blowback from such an operation could be substantial, with concerns about family separation and similarities to past controversial immigration policies.
