President-elect Trump's plan for mass deportations faces significant challenges, including a backlog of nearly 4 million immigration cases, a shortage of judges and detention centers, and potential costs of $150-350 billion. Experts highlight logistical issues, such as the need for new detention facilities and the difficulty of coordinating federal and local agencies. Legal and ethical concerns, including due process rights and potential conflicts for law enforcement, further complicate the plan.
