The finer details behind Donald Trump's plan to deport millions of illegal immigrants are starting to emerge.
In a report published Sunday evening, Axios outlined how Trump plans to use the power of the state to forcibly deport millions of people with no legal right to be in the United States.
The outlet noted:
Donald Trump's plan to crack down on immigration includes using a range of tools to deport millions of people in the U.S. each year — from obscure laws to military funds to law enforcement officers from all levels of government.
History tells us such an effort would dramatically disrupt local communities and economies across the U.S. — and sow fear among the millions of people without legal status.
A source told Axios that Trump plans on realizing this by mobilizing numerous agencies, including ICE, FBI, DEA, federal prosecutors, the National Guard, and state law enforcement:
Fast-track deportations — now reserved for recent crossers encountered near the border — would be expanded to apply to anyone who illegally crossed the border and couldn't prove they'd been living in the U.S. for more than two years.
Trump would curtail the usual multistep deportation process by using an obscure section of the 1798 Alien and Sedition Acts to immediately round up and deport some migrants with criminal histories. The military would build massive sites near the border to hold people awaiting deportation.
Among Trump's other targets will reportedly include sponsors of unaccompanied minors who crossed the border without their parents:
The government releases migrant children to these sponsors, who typically are the children's relatives — some without legal status. Hundreds of thousands of people also have been admitted into the U.S. under Biden's use of "parole," a program guaranteeing protection for two years. Trump's plan could target those with expiring protection for quick deportation.
It is currently unclear how much Trump's plan would cost. However, it would not be the first time that the U.S. has carried out such a policy. Under the presidency of Dwight Eisenhower, U.S. authorities deported over one million undocumented Mexican immigrants in what was known as Operation Wetback.
The plan will inevitably be met with far greater opposition than 70 years ago, with employers, community leaders and some religious institutions expected to push back and stifle the efforts of law enforcement.
Last November, The New York Times published a similar report explaining how Trump planned to construct camps to help speed up the deportation process:
To help speed mass deportations, Mr. Trump is preparing an enormous expansion of a form of removal that does not require due process hearings. To help Immigration and Customs Enforcement carry out sweeping raids, he plans to reassign other federal agents and deputize local police officers and National Guard soldiers voluntarily contributed by Republican-run states.
To ease the strain on ICE detention facilities, Mr. Trump wants to build huge camps to detain people while their cases are processed and they await deportation flights. And to get around any refusal by Congress to appropriate the necessary funds, Mr. Trump would redirect money in the military budget, as he did in his first term to spend more on a border wall than Congress had authorized.
While such plans are undoubtedly more authoritarian in nature, many will consider them a necessary evil in order to restore a sense of credibility and fairness to America's immigration system. The policy would also help save the billions of dollars spent by both local and federal governments on accommodating illegal aliens every year.
According to some estimates more than 10 million illegal immigrants have entered the country illegally since Joe Biden took office in 2021, many of whom have criminal records and links to organized crime.
Also, stop ALL welfare payments except for bare minimum prison rations - tents, no cell phones, no a/c, bologna sammiches and tepid tap water to drink.
I think I love you.
Stop all freebee programs for illegals.
Make life hard for employers who hire illegals.
Any convicted criminal is sent home with permanent no hope of green card or citizenship. Try to re-enter is a five year jail term.
A 10% tax on all wire transfers sent to home countries.
No anchor babies.
‘How so? Many of us non-Trump supporters want ALL ILLEGALS DEPORTED and criticize Trump”
You guys got your way in 2020. How’d that work out?
Still want more of the same? It’s EITHER Trump, OR more of the same.
You decide.
Does this plan take into consideration the fact that every Circuit Court in America will halt this deportation plan as unconstitutional, illegal and besides... it’s mean to the illegals.
And not even Congress would authorize this.
sow fear among the millions of people without legal status.

Good that means its working...
Fear will drive the illegal aliens back home to Mexico or wherever...
FLEEE !!!! FLEE FOR YOUR LIVES !!!
ITS DANGERROUS FOR YOU HERE !!!
RUN HOME TO THE SAFETY OF YOUR OWN COUNTRY !!!
“I didn’t know NeverTrumpers were against deporting illegals.”
By definition they are, as it’s difficult to see how Biden is preferable to Trump - since the definition of a NeverTrumper requires support of Biden or any other Democrat, due to the word “NEVER” being in their description.
It should be quite clear, even to those who prefer ANYONE but Trump (which, of course, includes Biden), that Biden is FAR LESS inclined to support removal of Illegals than Trump.
“ — and sow fear among the millions of people without legal status.”
Good. Now GTFO.
L
Deport them on old Carnival Cruise line ships. To send them back by the thousands to Asia, Africa, Latin America. If they riot onboard and try to hijack the ship. Then the crew retreats to a safe room module.
The plug is then pulled on the ship by remote control. The crew’s safe module is lifted off the sinking ship. Using an industrial helicopter.
What history book did the author read about mass deportation?
________________________________________________
He obviously didn’t read about Arizona SB 1070. A valid law voted in by citizens sending a million illegals out of state. Overturned by black robed thugs.
Same thing would happen here to Trump’s plan. Count on it.
But oh well. It’s good campaign rhetoric and nice to wish for.
As expected the rumors begin along with the wailing, whining pissing and moaning from the left and the bleeding hearts. Piss be upon them.
What do you mean? I and I suspect most of us were active supporters of Trump in 2020.
Red State sounds like the New York Times

(Media) LEAKS like this are why our country is so screwed these days.
I cannot wait until President Trump implements his mass deportation operation!!!
Now, I fear that this expose will sabotage, undermine and possibly completely thwart this from ever happening.
“The plan will inevitably be met with far greater opposition than 70 years ago, with employers, community leaders and some religious institutions expected to push back and stifle the efforts of law enforcement.”
They can protest all they want as long as they do not appear to incite an insurrection.
And if they get caught with their feet on a government employee’s desk, it will not go well for that person.
“What do you mean? I and I suspect most of us were active supporters of Trump in 2020.”
Do you REALLY think that Haley will do better on the border than Trump next year? Or Biden? Or Kamala?
Good lord……you think conservatives that don”t like Trump somehow approve the open border?
Good news@
And you think I support and would vote for ineligible Indian anchor baby Haley? I guess you haven’t been ready my comments on FR. I supported DeSantis.
Trump needs to declare an invasion and suspend habeas corpus. That gives him authority to side step “due process” concerns. If CJ Roberts doesn’t like it, he should be worried about getting sent to GITMO for aiding and abetting the invaders.
“Good lord……you think conservatives that don”t like Trump somehow approve the open border?”
I was referring to NeverTrumpers, who, by definition of the word “Never”, will vote for anyone OTHER than Trump, even though every other option, at this point, means supporting Open Borders.
