The main obstacle to mass deportations of illegal immigrants in the second Trump administration will be “sanctuary jurisdictions” that do not fully cooperate with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).
Some eight million illegal aliens, which is more than 50 percent of the estimated nationwide total, reside in these sanctuary areas.
These jurisdictions are state or local governments that frustrate enforcement by “refusing to or prohibiting agencies from complying with ICE detainers, imposing unreasonable conditions on detainer acceptance, denying ICE access to interview incarcerated aliens, or otherwise impeding communication or information exchanges between their personnel and federal immigration officers,” said Jessica Vaughan of the Center for Immigration Studies (CIS).
Trump has pledged to get started on mass deportations as soon as he enters office on Jan. 20.
“On Day 1, I will launch the largest deportation program in American history to get the criminals out. I will rescue every city and town that has been invaded and conquered, and we will put these vicious and bloodthirsty criminals in jail, then kick them the hell out of our country as fast as possible.”
Trump’s border czar, Tom Homan, said he plans to “take the handcuffs off ICE” and ramp up arrests.
“So, I’ve been asked a thousand times, how many people can you remove the first year? Well, how many agents do I have?” he said. “Can we bring rehired agents back, the ones that are retired bring them back and rehire them. How many buses do I have? How much money do I have for airplanes? Right? Can DOD assist? Because DOD can take a lot off our plate. There’s a lot of what ifs …”
In November, Trump responded to a social media post from Judicial Watch’s Tom Fitton, who said earlier there are reports the incoming administration is preparing an emergency declaration on immigration and to use “military assets” to deport the migrants.
“TRUE!!!” Trump wrote.
