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.
“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.”
Sorry then, glad you’re finally on board with Trump!!!
“ No confidence that a lame-duck second term would be any different.”
So feel free to sit this one out.
Your guy lost. Deal with it by staying home to show us all your ideological purity.

Suspending habeas corpus is a great idea.
Nothing bad could ever happen under that scenario.
No, I am not. I won’t be voting for Trump. As I have previously written, I will join others in skipping a vote for president if Trump is on the ticket and especially if he were to pick Ramaswamy or Haley as well. I am in Nevada so it won’t make any difference anyway.
Who do you prefer to be President?
Never Trumpers are against ANYTHING Trump does. They all need to seek help.
No 30 days, 2 days maybe 5 days at most. It gets announced and they grab their stuff and go. 30 days too much time to cause excess trouble (harm to Citizens and their property) or find ways to burrow in (quick marriage etc) to “legally” be here.
How many times we gonna be nice and get whacked in the head for it?
Putting a cap on house sizes will reduce new construction employment and remittances - 1600 square feet max generally, 2400 square feet max for a house on its own two-acre or larger plot.
Capping new house sizes to 1960s levels can be done at the state level.
“No, I am not. I won’t be voting for Trump.”
Sorry, thought you opposed Open Borders. Well, if you’re willing to let someone other than Trump win, but still want a secure border, then when do you plan to list in the Texas Guard?
And by the way, I suspect that you know Nevada is considered a Swing State, so maybe your decision will, sadly, ‘make a difference’.
Yeah, Trump would be open and share what he had in mind for his win in November.
MORE AXIOS BS.
detain them until hearings...
at one of our bases in saudi arabia. Dont need security then. And if they just want to work they can go join all the other foriegn labor the saudis use.
A part or product that meet a standard mentioned in a building code may only be employed in a new house when the new house is ordinance and deed limited in price to....
Put price controls on the new house industry to make new houses affordable.
The left is pissed because Trump plans to rain on their Cloward-Piven parade.
Invaders come for three major reasons: family already here, to work in the construction industry or to commit crime.

THAT is a more thoughtful solution.
BUT TRUMP REALLY WANTED AXIOS TO KNOW WHAT HIS PLAN WAS.
RIIIIIIIGHT.
I’m with you on that one. As much as I want every wetback, African, Chinaman, and any other leech, and all their offspring who are here illegally to be physically driven out of this country, Trump, God love him is not enough to get it done. The dems, the rinos, the globalists, half the regular republicans, and finally the courts will tie it up until those illegals are so entrenched that it will be damn near impossible to get rid of them. Unless we had a massive uprising of some sort which would put the fear of God into these people. I just can’t see that happening, although it would be great if it does.
Make a federal law:
No domestic government money may be used to pay for lodging in an establishment habitually used for lodging in interstate commerce except when that lodging is needed personally by a government employee for his/her governmental work and the government employee has a habitual residence at least 100 miles away.
This way local governments can’t be forced to lodge invaders in motels & hotels.
