A new Washington Post report has revealed that the Trump administration's new goal is to deport 1 million immigrants a year. Even though the number would more than double the highest annual removals in U.S. history, it would still make it significantly harder for the administration to fulfill Trump's campaign promise of removing "millions" if re-elected.
According to the investigation, based on testimony from four current and former federal officials with direct knowledge of the plans, even the 1-million deportee target faces significant logistical, legal, and diplomatic obstacles, making it unlikely to succeed.
