An alliance of President Donald Trump supporters is promoting more stringent immigration policies, pressing for the administration to increase deportation endeavors against migrants.
Called the Mass Deportation Coalition, the group intends to lobby the administration to give priority to the deportation of all migrants who are legally eligible for removal, contending that immigration enforcement must be significantly expanded to address unlawful entry and overstays, according to a story by Newsmax.
After the White House allegedly told Republicans to say the focus is on deporting mainly toughened criminals, the coalition acted.
Among the coalition are Mark Morgan, the former acting commissioner of Customs and Border Protection under Trump, and Erik Prince, the former Blackwater CEO. The Heritage Foundation, the conservative think tank behind Project 2025, commissioned new polling to back its theory that deporting migrants means wins in November.
According to a McLaughlin & Associates survey, a Trump polling group, 66% of likely 2026 voters support deporting any migrants who enter the country illegally; 58% said they support deporting all deportable migrants, not just violent criminals.
“Overwhelmingly, Trump voters expect this from the administration. They don’t just support it — they expect it,” Chris Chmielenski, president of the conservative Immigration Accountability Project, told Politico.
“This is a good way to reenergize the base as we move into the midterms, the same way that Trump was able to do so in the lead-up to the 2024 general election.”
James Blair, the White House deputy chief of staff, allegedly told House Republicans to stop the rhetoric on mass deportations and concentrate on deporting career criminals, according to a story by Axios. Still, the report was disputed by the Trump administration.
“President Trump’s highest priority has always been the deportation of illegal alien criminals who endanger American communities,” White House spokesperson Abigail Jackson said in a statement.
