PHOENIX — Donald Trump’s latest deportation priorities could target more than six million individuals for immediate removal, according to a Washington Post analysis. After weeks of opaque public statements regarding his stance on mass deportations, Trump spelled out hard-line immigration priorities in a fiery speech in Phoenix. He not only called for removing all undocumented immigrants who had committed crimes, but also said he would prioritize those who have overstayed their visas for deportation. That number is closer to 2 million according to some, including Jessica Vaughan of the Center for Immigration Studies, whom the Trump campaign has consulted on the issue. In all, the number of individuals prioritized for removal by ICE agents would range between about 5.0 million and 6.5 million, according to available data and estimates.
