A controversial new step in immigration policy has been introduced by President Donald Trump, who has suggested he is open to widening deportation efforts to include U.S. citizens convicted of what he calls “bad” crimes. These comments, which the president admitted might stir debate, were made with little concern for public backlash.
The president’s recent statements, found by Express, were made during a trip to a new detention center in Florida, boldly named “Alligator Alcatraz.” This facility highlights the administration’s hardline approach to immigration enforcement, showing a quick effort to keep campaign promises about stopping the flow of undocumented people into the United States. In the first 100 days of the current administration, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) reported a high number of arrests, with more than sixty-six thousand migrants detained and over sixty-five thousand deported.
