Trump Allies Push for Broad Deportations

0:00On March 12, a new coalition of Trump allies, immigration hardliners, and conservative experts has launched to urge the administration to ramp up, deportations of all eligible migrants in the country. The group includes figures like former border chief Mark Morgan and ex-blackwater leader Eric Prince, along with think tanks such as the Heritage Foundation. They want enforcement to target not just criminals, but anyone who entered illegally or overstayed visas. Poles they commissioned show strong backing from voters. 66% of likely 2026 voters favored deporting those who crossed the border unlawfully, while 58% support removing. All who qualify for deportation. Trump supporters especially see this as a must-do to fire up the base ahead of midterms, much like it helped in the recent election cycle. Meanwhile, the White House insists its priority stays on kicking out dangerous criminals, pushing back against broader calls and keeping the focus. Narrow as enforcement ramps up nationwide.
