There are just a few weeks left until President-elect Donald Trump takes office, in which he has promised to start mass deportations across the country right away. While there are still many questions left unanswered about if, and how, these operations will actually be carried out, experts and migrants are bracing for potential effects of ejecting millions of migrants in different territories across the country. But when it comes to mass deportations and their effects, not all cities and states are created equal.

An estimated 11 million unauthorized immigrants lived in the U.S. as of 2022, which represented about 3.3.% of the overall population, according to the Department of Homeland Security. These are noncitizens who entered the country without permission, overstayed the period of their lawful admission, or otherwise violated the terms of their admission.
