What Next | A "Made for TV" Deportation Policy


Listen Later

Mass deportations were a big part of Donald Trump’s 2024 presidential campaign and now in office, he’s making good on the wide-sweeping aspects of his policy, though the numbers aren’t yet massive. Most recently, he’s justified these actions through the 1798 Alien Enemies Act which only applies during wartime. When a judge attempted to halt the deportations to evaluate this use of the rarely-utilized law, Trump called for him to be impeached. 


Guest: Michelle Hackman, U.S. immigration policy reporter in The Wall Street Journal's Washington bureau
