Deportation at ‘Light Speed’

How Trump’s crackdown could unfold

President-elect Donald Trump intends to launch a "light speed" mass deportation campaign as soon as he "puts his hand on that Bible and takes the oath of office," top aide Stephen Miller has boasted.

While U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has long prioritized immigrants with criminal records, there are other subgroups that could be at a higher risk of deportation. They include millions of newcomers who arrived during the record border influx under President Joe Biden, as well as those who have exhausted their legal appeals but have not left the United States.

Others, including "dreamers" allowed to stay under the Obama-era Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program, are likely to remain a lower priority.
