According to a report by the Washington Post, the Trump administration has adopted an "aggressive" approach to achieve its goal of deporting 1 million immigrants. It is reported that the White House is conducting daily work with the U.S. Department of Homeland Security and other federal agencies to reach this target.
During his election campaign, Trump had promised to deport "millions of immigrants." His deputy, JD Vance, had previously stated that this process could begin with 1 million immigrants. In this context, it is stated that negotiations are ongoing with at least 30 countries to send immigrants to "third countries."
Within the framework of its immigration policy, the Trump administration has invoked the "Alien Enemies Act" of 1798 to accelerate the deportation of immigrants linked to "foreign terrorist organizations." This law grants the president extraordinary powers to target and deport undocumented immigrants and had previously been used only during times of war.
