Trump's promise to launch a large deportation program if reelected challenges existing federal immigration laws and relies heavily on state cooperation, especially from red states.
Mark Morgan, a former acting commissioner of U.S. Customs and Border Protection, highlighted the dependency of Trump's deportation plan on state cooperation, stating, 'It's not going to be successful, as long as we have sanctuary cities and states that refuse to allow local and state police departments to work with ICE.'
The proposed mass deportation program is further complicated by the existence of sanctuary cities that resist aiding ICE, potentially hampering Trump's ambitious plans for immigration enforcement.
Recent efforts in several red states to criminalize unauthorized immigration illustrate a burgeoning trend that could affect how federal immigration policies play out on the ground.
