New York Times: Immigrants Leave New York After Trump Threatens Mass Deportations
The New York Times reported that the number of immigrants living in New York has declined significantly amid threats by US President-elect Donald Trump to carry out mass deportations.
According to her information, the number of immigrants in New York has been declining for nearly five months in a row.
In a census conducted on November 17, there were about 57,000 people in shelters and other migrant reception centers in the city, which is 17% less than the number in January, when there were 69,000.
The number of people crossing the US border via Mexico has also declined.
According to the newspaper, the number of migrants in New York will continue to decline further.
Earlier, Trump said he intended to implement a mass deportation program for illegal immigrants that would include imposing a state of emergency.
Trump wrote on his Truth page, in response to a report by Tom Fitton, president of the conservative Judicial Watch organization, that the Trump administration was preparing to declare a state of emergency and use military means to carry out deportations.
Newsweek magazine reported that Trump may declare a state of emergency in dealing with immigrants, especially since he was a supporter of the call for a national emergency plan as part of his mass deportation policy.
