Donald Trump's immigration plan for the 2024 presidential contest may shut off protections against deportation for almost 2.7 million people now covered by programs such as the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals and Temporary Protected Status.

Springfield, Ohio, is trying to work on welcoming immigration, especially with the coming of Haitian immigrants.

Donald Trump's mass deportation plan, aiming at removing the million undocumented immigrants from the U.S., may reach an astonishing price tag of almost 1 trillion dollars over the next twenty years. This would be an enormous cost induced by enforcement, courtroom proceedings, detention, and economic consequence as a result of taking away millions of workers.

Vice President Kamala Harris on Sunday pushed back against recent criticism of the Biden administration's handling of immigration and border control in an interview that aired on 60 Minutes.
