According to NBC, the second Trump administration is trying to double the capacity of illegal immigrant detention facilities, currently around 41,000 people, in preparation for a major crackdown by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).
To this end, new detention facilities have been expanded around large cities and areas where illegal immigrants are concentrated, and they are also reportedly working with private prison operators.
In particular, it is known that there is a possibility of new facilities around large cities such as Los Angeles, Chicago, and Miami.
At the same time, the Biden administration is considering restarting detention facilities closed for human rights protection and reviving family detention systems to house illegal immigrant families with underage children together.
Trump was elected on the basis of the support of voters unhappy with the Democratic government's response to the issue of illegal immigrants, and aims to expel up to an estimated 20 million illegal immigrants.
To that end, South Dakota Gov. Kristi Nome, a close ally, has been named the secretary of homeland security.
