Part 2/7:
Trump firmly stated that his priority would be to remove individuals with criminal histories from the country. While he acknowledged families where parents might be in the U.S. illegally but their children are legal residents, he intimated that maintaining family integrity would potentially hinge on deporting entire families together. This stance reflects a hardline approach, echoing sentiments from figures like Tom Homan, who have openly supported de-facto family deportations. Despite the controversy, Trump’s assertions hint at a growing base of support for such measures, suggesting a broader societal endorsement than many anticipated.
