Hassan Ayariga, the founder and flag bearer of the All People’s Congress (APC), has said he supports President-elect Trump’s idea of deporting over 20 million people from the United States.
Donald John Trump, the former U.S. President who was re-elected on November 05, 2024, has disclosed that one of the major policies he intends carrying out in the early part of his next administration is to embark on “mass deportation.”
His first term as president was punctuated by anti-immigrant rhetoric and legal manoeuvers to crack down on immigration. A similar promise made in his first administration to deport people at a large scale didn’t happen because of legal obstacles which experts say could be different this time around.
He says he is going to embark on the “largest deportation program in American history.”
During his campaign, Trump and his surrogates amplified examples of undocumented immigrants accused of committing violent crimes, and promoted widely debunked claims about Haitian immigrants in Springfield, Ohio, eating pets.
“We’re going to have the largest deportation in the history of our country and we’re going to start with Springfield and Aurora,” Trump said at a news conference earlier this year. Many immigrants in Springfield have temporary legal status, but Trump has promised to revoke their permission to stay in the country.
Reacting to the policy on Onua FM’s afternoon current affairs show, Asɛm Bɛn Ni, Friday, Novemver 08, 2024, he said “Trump should send them back home”, when host, Captain Smart asked of his view on the mass deportation.
