  • President-elect Donald Trump promised increased immigration restrictions and a closed border in the campaign that made him president. His inauguration on Monday could immediately usher in major policy changes that will have ramifications locally.

Immigration advocates in Philadelphia are preparing for potential mass deportations if former President Donald Trump wins the 2024 election, following his campaign promises to initiate widespread deportation efforts on his first day back in office. Trump has pledged to target undocumented immigrants, with estimates suggesting that up to 47,000 individuals in Philadelphia alone could be at risk.
