WASHINGTON—Today, The Heritage Foundation released the following statements welcoming the release of a new playbook from the Mass Deportation Coalition outlining a strategy to deport at least one million illegal aliens in 2026 and allowing President Trump to deliver on his promise to the American people to “carry out the largest deportation operation in American history.”

Dr. Kevin Roberts, president of The Heritage Foundation and Heritage Action:

“Thanks to President Trump’s leadership, America is on the verge of a new Golden Age. Continuing his transformative agenda includes maintaining our secure borders, eliminating fraud, and putting the American people first by delivering exactly what voters were promised—the largest deportation operation in American history. This playbook provides a roadmap to advancing what will be President Trump’s lasting legacy: Making America Great Again.”

Lora Ries, director of the Border Security and Immigration Center at The Heritage Foundation:

“With at least 20 million deportable aliens in the U.S., America needs mass deportations for national and economic security. President Trump campaigned and won on mass deportations. Americans still overwhelmingly support them. It is time to go on offense again, apply consequences for illegal immigration, fraud, and unauthorized work, and return American students and employees to a level playing field.”
