After taunting for months about conducting the "largest mass deportation operation in American history," President Donald Trump has kept true to his word and has put a start to the deportations in the first days of his presidency.
During the first hours of Trump's presidency, the CBP One app —which allowed migrants to apply for an asylum appointment— was shut down, leaving thousands of asylum seekers stranded along the border. But according to San Diego advocate Pedro Rios, human smuggling networks will likely benefit the most from Trump's new border policies.
