  • Despite public opinion polls that find the majority of Americans support a path to citizenship for undocumented immigrants, the incoming Trump administration is forging ahead with President-elect Donald Trump's vow to begin his mass deportations of millions of people "on day one.

The article discusses former President Donald Trump's plan to rescind a policy that restricts Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) from making arrests in "sensitive locations" such as schools, hospitals, and churches.

Trump's intention to reverse this ban is part of his broader, hardline immigration stance, which he describes as necessary to combat what he perceives as overly lenient policies.
