Nebraska advocacy groups brace for Donald Trump’s deportation promise

President-elect Donald Trump has long promised a crackdown on illegal immigration, including the largest mass deportation operation in the country’shistory.
On Sunday, he said he would name longtime immigration official Tom Homan as his “border czar” and put him “in charge of all Deportation of Illegal Aliens back to their Country of Origin.”
If Trump succeeds in his plans to return undocumented immigrants to their previous countries, critics say, the plan could send shock waves through the state — from South Omaha to western Nebraska.
Though advocates are hopeful that legal and economic challenges to Trump’s proposed plans could diminish the effects, legal aid and advocacy organizations are preparing for the “worst case scenario,” Anna Deal, the legal director at Nebraska’s Center for Immigrant and Refugee Advancement, said.
