Mexico's president said immigrants shouldn't be treated as 'criminals,' but is planning for an influx of returnees if Trump implements mass deportations.

President-elect Donald Trump’s team is gaming out an aggressive strategy toward Latin America that will be a crucial element to plans to deport migrants at large scale, according to two sources involved in transition policy discussions.

Donald Trump’s plan to immediately carry out the largest deportation operation in U.S. history upon taking office is banking on a key ally: conservative sheriffs. There are some 6,000 federal immigration agents in the Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency (ICE),

Sheriffs along the U.S.-Mexico border often deal with illegal immigrants but say they need more federal resources.

President-elect Donald Trump’s incoming administration is weighing giving local sheriffs more powers to help boot illegal migrants from the US by expanding a federal program to allow them to act as immigration agents.
