Trump's MAGA allies have a new plan for mass deportations. It could splinter the coalition. [View all]
(Politico) A group of President Donald Trumps MAGA allies released a playbook Wednesday to fulfill the largest deportation push in U.S. history. It could very well split Trumps coalition.
The plan from the Mass Deportation Coalition an organization led by some prominent Trumpworld veterans, immigration restrictionist groups and hawkish policy experts rests on one crucial pillar: A major immigration enforcement crackdown on workplaces, modeling the strategy that former President Dwight D. Eisenhowers administration used to deliver the nations largest deportation initiative in history.
There is no chance for a mass deportation program if worksite enforcement is not the centerpiece, the playbook, shared first with POLITICO, reads. Enforcement at scale means focusing on physical areas where illegal aliens are concentrated: worksites.
That strategy almost certainly promises to alienate some of the Trump administrations allies in the agriculture, construction and hospitality industries, which all rely heavily on undocumented labor. Farm groups in particular hold significant sway in Trumps Washington and have already shown prowess in steering the administration away from worksite enforcement when those efforts disrupted the industry.
