A week into his second term, United States President Donald Trump has intensified his crackdown on immigration, building on his campaign promise of carrying out “the largest deportation in American history”.
Since Trump’s inauguration on January 20, the US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has arrested more than 3,500 unauthorised immigrants across the US. The Trump administration has also started sending deportation flights — US military aircraft carrying migrants to their countries of origin or third nations.
