The US administration’s strategy is to deport them to third countries, after most countries refused to accept their citizens who illegally infiltrated the US, according to US officials.
The Trump administration is pushing to deport more immigrants during the president’s first year in office, and one ambitious number continues to rise in private discussions, according to four current and former federal officials familiar with the plans: 1 million immigrants, according to the Washington Post.
Deporting 1 million immigrants in one year is expected to break previous records, as the highest number so far was 400,000 immigrants annually under Barack Obama.
But officials, speaking on condition of anonymity to discuss domestic policy, said Trump officials are not disclosing how those numbers are calculated.
