Kamala Harris Warns of Mass Deportations If Trump Reelected
-----------------------------------------------------------

Vice President Kamala Harris spoke Wednesday at a Congressional Hispanic
Caucus event, warning of mass deportations and "massive detention camps"
if Trump is reelected.

Vice President Kamala Harris: "Donald Trump and his extremist allies
will keep trying to pull us backward. We all remember what they did to
tear families apart. And now they have pledged to carry out the largest
deportation, a mass deportation, in American history. Imagine what that
would look like and what that would be. How is that going to happen?
Massive raids? Massive detention camps?"

Immigrant rights advocates have blasted Harris for adopting the same
hard-line stance on immigration as her Republican rivals, and her focus
on criminalizing immigrants and militarizing the border.
