Operation Aurora: Trump’s Ambitious Deportation Scheme
Dubbed “Operation Aurora”, this ambitious initiative takes inspiration from historical precedents like the Alien Enemies Act of 1798, giving the president authority to detain and deport non-citizens during wartime.
President Trump has set his sights on individuals from Venezuela, Haiti, Cuba, and Nicaragua, whom he has branded as “vicious criminals”. His plan includes imposing sanctions and travel bans on countries that refuse to repatriate their nationals.
The deportation process is set to unfold in three phases, with the first two phases estimated to cost up to $300 billion. The final phase involves rounding up millions of remaining illegal immigrants from workplaces and swiftly deporting them.
To expedite these deportations, Trump is considering utilizing the military to establish “tent cities” on federal lands.
This controversial plan has sparked widespread debate and criticism, with many questioning the morality and feasibility of such a large-scale deportation effort.
As the details of “Operation Aurora” continue to unfold, it remains to be seen how this initiative will impact millions of immigrants living in the United States.
