How Trump Plans to Deport Illegal Immigrants Using Wartime Powers. Legal Experts Remain Wary.

Donald Trump is proposing to execute the largest deportation program in U.S. history by invoking wartime powers, relying on sympathetic governors, and using the military, including the National Guard. His new approach includes using the Alien Enemies Act and deploying National Guard troops across state lines. The legal and logistical challenges are significant, with concerns over military involvement, detention space, and the financial feasibility of mass deportations. Experts say Trump’s plan is unlikely to succeed on the scale he promises, but it may create widespread fear in immigrant communities.
