1. Yes, that's how it's being done now. However, I think Trump wants something else.

I think his expectation is that ICE can just round up people, haul them away, and sort them out later. If some end up getting deported wrongly, well, that's how it works. I think that's what he has in mind.

Also, let's say the ICE people pick someone up who is here without documentation, but that there are a bunch of people living in the same place he lives. Why not just take them all in. You know, if they're here legally, they can prove that and won't get deported. But, of course, people don't carry around proof that they're here legally all the time. So, some are going to get deported anyhow. No big deal, they're going to say. They can work it out later.

Trump doesn't believe in the "innocent until proven guilty thing," you see. Not when it comes to migrants, anyhow.

I expect a lot of people are going to get deported who shouldn't be deported. I think that's the plan.
