Overview
- An organized Mass Deportation Coalition of conservative activists and former immigration chiefs is urging the White House to launch a larger deportation push they call Phase 2 and has shared a detailed playbook across Capitol Hill.
- The coalition says Phase 2 targets at least one million removals per year, arguing the first year focused on violent offenders and fell short of Trump’s campaign pledge.
- The White House rejects claims of any shift and says Trump’s team is unified on enforcement, according to spokeswoman Abigail Jackson.
- The group cites about 350,000 ICE removals in fiscal 2025, but ICE has not delivered its year-end report and DHS has not updated public statistics, making independent checks hard.
- Coalition allies named include Rep. Chip Roy and Sen. Mike Lee, and coverage ranges from Axios’ policy details to Raw Story’s base-revolt framing, with The Mirror carrying a fresh denial from the White House.
