President-elect Donald Trump has confirmed plans to launch the "largest deportation program" in U.S. history, utilising military power to carry out mass deportations of undocumented migrants. This announcement follows his election victory, during which immigration reform was a central issue. Trump has pledged to deport millions of illegal immigrants, focusing on stabilising the U.S.-Mexico border and addressing the surge in illegal crossings during President Joe Biden's administration. The program will involve military assets, with Trump amplifying the approach via social media. The initiative aims to significantly reduce the number of undocumented migrants in the country, impacting millions of families, with critics warning of potential legal and humanitarian concerns.
