The Wall Street Journal reported that the administration of former U.S. President Donald Trump was planning a major campaign to deport illegal immigrants on Tuesday, as part of its efforts to enforce the strict immigration laws it adopted during his tenure. According to sources, this operation was targeting individuals who had final deportation orders, especially those who had not left the country after the legal proceedings had concluded.

The campaign aimed to send a clear message that the government was determined to enforce the rule of law, according to officials' statements. However, these plans faced logistical and legal challenges, in addition to strong opposition from human rights groups and immigrant advocates.

Reactions:

• Opponents: They pointed out that these operations could lead to family separation and create a climate of fear in immigrant communities, where many immigrants live mixed with families composed of U.S. citizens.

• Supporters: They welcomed the move as necessary for enforcing the law and ensuring border security, accusing previous administrations of being lenient in addressing the crisis of illegal immigration.

Background:

During Trump's administration, his administration adopted tough policies such as the "zero tolerance" policy, which led to the separation of children from their families at the border, as well as attempts to end the Temporary Protected Status (DACA) program that protects immigrants who arrived in the country as children from deportation.
