The Trump Administration is preparing to implement strategic operations for the detention and deportation of illegal immigrants in the United States, with initial actions possibly taking place this Tuesday.
It is expected that on the first day of Donald Trump in the White House, several executive orders will be approved, some of which will focus on tightening immigration policies.
Immigration law specialists detailed to Univisión the preliminary data on this type of operations to apprehend undocumented individuals and shared important advice.
Operations with previously selected objectives
The lawyer Jorge Cancino detailed that the operations will be meticulously planned. After discussions with agents from the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), he was able to confirm that the protocols include thorough intelligence procedures.
"The agents from the Office of Detention and Removal Operations (ERO) develop a detailed plan that includes the exact timing of the arrest, the number of agents needed, and the required security measures, based on the individual’s level of threat," stated Cancino.
Additionally, he emphasized that the main targets of these operations will be immigrants with criminal backgrounds and pending deportation orders. "It may be a large-scale operation, but it is precise. This is not an operation that will stop people in a factory," he added.
Wider potential impact
The lawyer Armando Olmedo pointed out that these actions could have collateral effects, impacting undocumented immigrants without prior records.
"If authorities enter a home and there are other undocumented individuals present, they could also be detained," Olmedo warned.
The executive orders will also aim to establish deportation priorities and create specific regulations for these actions.
Technology at the service of the authorities
Cancino commented that high-tech companies are collaborating with U.S. authorities, providing social media profile data of alleged illegal immigrants involved in crimes. This adds a technological component to the operations, making them even more specific and effective.
The federal government plans to allocate more than 88 billion dollars in the first year to strengthen these operations. In states that do not cooperate with arrests, the Trump administration could increase the presence of federal agents.
Republican states could even mobilize the National Guard to enhance border security. In Florida, Governor Ron DeSantis might get involved in this effort, using the National Guard for logistical and administrative support, such as transportation and establishing camps for detainees.
Families with illegal immigrants should be informed
"It is crucial to have the necessary documents in order and to be aware of constitutional rights. Additionally, each family should have a plan in case of an unexpected detention, assigning specific responsibilities to ensure the stability of children, income, and access to food and medications," emphasized Olmedo.
Both lawyers urged immigrants to trust in the Constitution of the United States and in the legal tools it provides. They emphasized the importance of not lying to authorities or ever submitting false documentation.
They also emphasized that immigrants have rights that must be respected, and being well-informed about them can make a difference in times of crisis.
