9:51Now PlayingFormer President Donald Trump is reportedly planning an extensive expansion of his stringent immigration policies, including the roundup of undocumented immigrants already in the US for placement in detention camps awaiting deportation, with potential funding redirection from the Pentagon if Congress refuses support, according to a source confirmed to CNN, following Trump's pledge at a Florida rally to execute the "largest domestic deportation operation in American history" and a promise to sign an executive order on Day 1 of a potential second term to cease funding for shelter and transportation for undocumented immigrants. John Iadarola and Francesca Fiorentini break it down on The Damage Report.

"Former President Donald Trump is planning a widespread expansion of his first administration’s hardline immigration policies if he is elected to a second term in 2024, including rounding up undocumented immigrants already in the US and placing them in detention camps to await deportation, a source familiar with the plans confirmed to CNN.
The plans, first reported by The New York Times, would necessitate building large camps to house migrants waiting for deportation and tapping federal and local law enforcement to assist with large-scale arrests of undocumented immigrants across the country.
Should Congress refuse to fund the operation, Trump could turn to a tactic used in his first term to secure more funding for a border wall — redirecting funds from the Pentagon, the source confirmed.
News of the proposals comes after Trump at a rally in Florida on Wednesday promised to conduct “the largest domestic deportation operation in American history” and argued criminals were coming through the US-Mexico border and warned of “young, strong people that had bad intentions.”
And on Saturday, Trump vowed to sign an executive order, on Day 1 of a potential second term, to cease funding the provision of shelter and transportation for undocumented immigrants, saying at a rally in New Hampshire that he would redirect a portion of the savings toward “shelter and treatment for our own homeless veterans.”"
