Indiana GOP Sen.-elect Jim Banks recently expressed his hopes for the mass deportation of undocumented immigrants who entered the US illegally during President Joe Biden's administration. Banks emphasized his desire to deport all such individuals, starting with violent criminals who have committed offenses while in the country illegally. He stated that President-elect Donald Trump is committed to prioritizing mass deportation, particularly focusing on those who pose a threat to public safety.
When questioned about the logistics of such a plan, Banks asserted that the American people had given a mandate to the president and Republicans to take decisive action. He suggested that local law enforcement agencies are prepared to assist in identifying and removing undocumented immigrants. Banks also proposed increasing penalties on businesses that employ undocumented individuals as a means to encourage self-deportation.
