Furious allies lobby Trump to keep deporting migrants

Source: Politico

03/12/2026 04:45 AM EDT


Top allies of President Donald Trump are furious at the White House’s new rhetorical emphasis on deporting violent criminals over all unauthorized immigrants — and they’re launching a lobbying effort to reverse that reversal.

A group of longtime Trump allies, immigration restrictionist groups and hawkish policy experts have formed the Mass Deportation Coalition to lobby the Trump administration to refocus its efforts on deporting all eligible migrants.

The group has commissioned new polling from one of Trump’s top pollsters to back its thesis that doing so will ensure GOP wins this November, and plans to share that data with White House officials, agency heads and every member of Congress.

The new poll was conducted by McLaughlin & Associates, a pollster that Trump has used in all of his presidential elections, and shared exclusively with POLITICO.

Bunch of delusional miscreants. They still only represent something like 25% - 35% of the population. Every one of these MAGats should be stripped of citizenship and deported.

The White House has reportedly asked House Republicans to shut up about "mass deportations" already, recognizing that the regime’s handling of their signature issue is tanking Trump’s approval and Republican midterm prospects.

…when the aim appears to be mass deportation? Why store them for any period of time? Do they want to house them for awhile so they can pick out the young children and young girls for their sex trafficking and pedo parties?

They have no place to send them, so they have to keep them somewhere.

They want a complete Christian Nationalist white society,

rent these properties -- they'll probably be paid staggering fees to hold prisoners, while scrimping so badly on needed supplies that people will die, in the hands of grossly undertrained personnel -- probably give them the "option" of "working" to "offset" the "expense" of confinement -- then dump them at a foreign airport or terminal after they've squeezed all the juice out of them.

Trmp and the people around can see only opportunities for personal profit, never any chance to commit good, or even acceptable, actions.

donors. It’s a multi million dollar racket. The longer detainees stay, the more taxpayers pay.

The Mexican-born mayor of Coldwater was accused of voting illegally as a noncitizen. Many of his neighbors want state and federal officials to back off.

“This is a good way to re-energize the base as we move into the midterms." - Chris Chmielenski, president of the sordid Immigration Accountability Project.

They won't be the only ones "re-energized," Chris.

it just didn't seem to work .... BECAUSE IT'S REAL.

There really is a Mass Deportation Coalition.

I hope that by 2028 we can deport them.

That's 66% of former trump voters. That means he's lost 34% . He only won by a little under 2%.
