    Trump will require cooperation of local police.

    Plenty of pigs are already on his side, and would help him with this willingly.

    Also, as president, SCOTUS has already ruled that he can pretty much do what he wants as long as it’s an “official” act.

      In some red states, yes. But that’s largely in rural areas. I’m not sure if even a city in a deep-red state like Houston would cooperate with Trump.

      Its not up to the Police in any case. It’d be likely up to the local Attorney’s General.

      If Trump wants to personally come down and deport Mexicans one by one, I’d love to see it. But otherwise, Trump is going to write a thing that likely won’t make sense. Local police won’t get any money for immigration issues and will complain about funding and long hours. Then all the shit will collapse unless Congress gives more money for a deportation program.
