President-elect Donald Trump has reaffirmed his commitment to tough immigration policies, including mass deportations and ending birthright citizenship. In his first formal TV interview since winning the presidency, Trump stated that his administration would "have to" deport all undocumented immigrants currently in the United States.
Mass Deportations
Trump's plan for mass deportations would require a significant expansion of the existing removal system. This would involve arresting millions of individuals, placing them in removal proceedings, litigating cases in immigration courts, and resolving appeals. The process would require a massive increase in federal law enforcement officers, potentially including the military, federal agents, and state and local police.

Ending Birthright Citizenship
Trump has also expressed his intention to end birthright citizenship, calling the constitutional principle "ridiculous." However, this would require a significant overhaul of the 14th Amendment to the Constitution, which guarantees citizenship to all persons born or naturalized in the United States.
