Former President Donald J. Trump is planning an extreme expansion of his first-term crackdown on immigration if he returns to power in 2025 — including preparing to round up undocumented people already in the United States on a vast scale and detain them in sprawling camps while they wait to be expelled.
The plans would sharply restrict both legal and illegal immigration in a multitude of ways.
Mr. Trump wants to revive his first-term border policies, including banning entry by people from certain Muslim-majority nations and reimposing a Covid 19-era policy of refusing asylum claims — though this time he would base that refusal on assertions that migrants carry other infectious diseases like tuberculosis.
He plans to scour the country for unauthorized immigrants and deport people by the millions per year.
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.
In a public reference to his plans, Mr. Trump told a crowd in Iowa in September: “Following the Eisenhower model, we will carry out the largest domestic deportation operation in American history.” The reference was to a 1954 campaign to round up and expel Mexican immigrants that was named for an ethnic slur — “Operation Wetback.”
The constellation of Mr. Trump’s 2025 plans amounts to an assault on immigration on a scale unseen in modern American history. Millions of undocumented immigrants would be barred from the country or uprooted from it years or even decades after settling here.
Such a scale of planned removals would raise logistical, financial and diplomatic challenges and would be vigorously challenged in court. But there is no mistaking the breadth and ambition of the shift Mr. Trump is eyeing.
In a second Trump presidency, the visas of foreign students who participated in anti-Israel or pro-Palestinian protests would be canceled. U.S. consular officials abroad will be directed to expand ideological screening of visa applicants to block people the Trump administration considers to have undesirable attitudes. People who were granted temporary protected status because they are from certain countries deemed unsafe, allowing them to lawfully live and work in the United States, would have that status revoked. ***
On can hope that President Trump gets the opportunity.
“Sweeping Raids, Giant Camps and Mass Deportations”
Are we sure somebody didn’t leak the Democrats’ post-2024 plans for Republicans here?
Trump actually promised that in his first term (”they have to go back”), when he also said he’d “lock her up”—until he hosted and toasted Bill and Hill at his inaugural luncheon.
Bingo, and fought by RINO's as well!
Now, (re: your "localities") lets add many small American towns in places like Kansas and Texas (to name just two with which I am familiar) that have become largely, if not overwhelmingly populated by multi-generation families some of members of which are legal and some of whom are not. That part of the plan would be by any definition, "ripping families apart" and likely to be met with hostile resistance.
Then let's add the difficulties (and agreement costs) of getting those millions of illegals back to their countries of origin with the acceptance of those countries.
One wonders how much, if any, toothpaste Trump can indeed put back in the tube.
Congress would outlaw such a thing, if it’s not illegal already, and the military/National Guard would refuse orders to assist. The courts would block it with orders.
People who post “We need Trump” need to advance to “We need a whole new government”.
Trump could do a lot of things - but not with all three branches of the government united in defiance, which will be much more organized than it was from 2017-2021.
****************
True, but Trump can’t control a governmental bureaucratic structure that preceded him and controls the executive branch regardless of change in administrations.
Also, none of Trump’s opponents in the primary have outlined any policies to change this “infrastructure” disadvantage
My expectations are low regarding the 2024-2029 time frame.
So I’ll be supporting Trump, who was a good President and an entertaining political figure, instead of a bad President(Brandon) who isn’t entertaining & belongs in a nursing home.
Perhaps. More likely the crime rate will spike in many/most locations and a lot of them will not make it to the border.
We need to ‘wall off’ our money via constitutional tax caps.

Deportations lower under Trump administration than Obama: report
The Obama administration also deported 409,849 people in 2012 alone, while the Trump administration has yet to deport more than 260,000 people in a year, the Post reported. The Post noted it was ...
It would be a good “start”...
Once all non-citizens here illegally have been safely shipped across any ocean, there might be the need for similar treatment for American Communists
“Another official told CNN more than “1 million” undocumented immigrants “have been issued final deportation orders by federal judges yet remain at large in the country.” That senior administration official called enforcing those judicial orders a “top priority” for ICE.”

LOL! This FReeper has been writing this for years. Was not going to happen then, is not going to happen in the future.
There has not been a word from Trump or DeSantis about getting out from under the Refugee Convention by invoking its Article 44.
The Refugee Convention guarantees invaders welfare and a expedited path to citizenship (and the Amendment II right to buy AR-15s even if they voted for Hamas in Gaza).
And the farmer hauled another load away......
The difference between Trump and Biden is that Trump likes you, but you will be replaced.
Good points!
How quickly some people “forget” these facts.
If Kuwait can boot an equivalent of 18% of their nation’s population in “Palestinian refugees”, we can expel illegals, too.
“This sounds like a good plan.”
Yes, it does.
Words ≠ Actions
How many are failing to appear in courts for their hearings of their immunity/asylum and other claims? Issue arrest warrants EACH day.
