00:00President-elect Donald Trump is making headlines again with his recent social media post

00:04confirming his plans to fulfill his campaign promise of mass deportation of undocumented

00:08immigrants. Here's what you need to know. On November 8th, Tom Fitton, president of Judicial

00:14Watch, posted on True Social about Trump's plans to declare a national emergency and use military

00:19assets to reverse the Biden invasion through a mass deportation program. Trump replied with a

00:24simple, true, early Monday morning, November 18th. Just one day earlier, lawyers on TikToks were

00:29offering their hot takes on what Trump's immigration plans could look like. So this

00:33isn't necessarily a continuation of prior policies, but rather a roadmap for stricter enforcement in

00:39the future. These are the proposals that we're aware of that are on the table and they can have

00:43a major impact. The biggest concern is the major deportation plan and the construction of detention

00:50camps that seems to be a reality. If you're undocumented, consult with an immigration

00:54attorney to find out what options you have and what you can do next. During his 2024 presidential

01:00campaign rallies, Trump vowed to pursue deportation under the Aliens Enemy Act, an 18th century law

01:05that allows for the expedited removal of foreign nationals over 14 years old from countries at war

01:10with the U.S. His plan was aimed to target gang members and dismantle migrant criminal networks

01:15operating within the country. Back in 2020, his first term as president, Trump took action by

01:20signing executive orders to freeze the issuance of green cards for new immigrants. He also suspended

01:25the issuance of new H-1B, L-1, J, and other temporary work visas for skilled workers,

01:31managers, and au pairs through the end of that year. The intention behind these moves was to

01:35protect over 500,000 American jobs amid the economic fallout from the coronavirus pandemic,

01:41according to a senior administration official who spoke to reporters on the condition of remaining

01:45anonymous. Looking towards his second term in office, Trump has already tapped immigration

01:50hardliners for key positions, including South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem, who's set to become

01:54Homeland Security Secretary and former Acting ICE Director Tom Homan as the new Border Czar.

02:00Former HUD Secretary Julian Castro has criticized Homan for his cowboy attitude and called for

02:05significant pushback against Trump's immigration agenda. In response, Homan reassured the public

02:10that U.S. citizens and legal immigrants are safe and clarified that families could be deported

02:14together, but only if they've gone through due process and have been ordered to leave by a

02:18federal judge. Trump ally and former presidential candidate Vimak Ramaswamy also weighed in on the

02:24ABC's This Week, offering his perspective on what the policy could look like.

02:28We're gonna go step by step aggressively. Donald Trump's gonna stay true to his campaign pledge,

02:32but in a way that respects the dignity of the Americans who are already here.

02:36Meanwhile, co-host Anna Navarro from The View and Jessica Tarbell from The Five expressed concerns

02:41about the broader implication of Trump's policies, specifically emphasizing that the public did not

02:46vote to deport non-criminal family members. According to data from the American Community

02:51Survey, there are approximately 11 million undocumented individuals currently living in

02:56the U.S. This raises alarm among many economists and labor specialists about the potential economic

03:01impact of policies that would deport so many workers already in the country. While the concern

03:07is valid, immigration lawyer Abogado Alexandra Lopez shared that such policies would face clear

03:12legal challenges. Any attempt at using the military to carry out mass removals of individuals

03:19will likely be promptly met with opposition in federal court and will face significant legal

03:27challenges based on, you know, the constitutional ability to do so. While Trump's plans for mass

03:34deportation have been met with both support and criticism, the potential consequences remain

03:39uncertain, with many questioning how they could impact the American economy and daily life.

03:44Let us know what you think and how this can impact you in the comments or at
