LHSCD In The News: Emma Tuohy on Trump Administration Deportation Plans
December 4, 2024
As we near the start of a second Trump administration, The Philadelphia Inquirer takes a look at what Trump’s mass deportation plans would mean for the country, the region, and the city of Philadelphia, which is home to an estimated 47,000 people without legal status.
LHSCD’s Emma Tuohy is quoted in the article’s discussion on the pushback to mass deportation:
Any mass deportation effort would have to be carried out amid the fierce resistance that advocates promise to mount in the streets and in the courts on behalf of immigrants.
“Many will have defenses — and relief,” said attorney Emma Tuohy, a removal specialist who is president of the Philadelphia chapter of the American Immigration Lawyers Association.
She expects that the administration will increase deportations, but that mechanics and logistics will make it challenging to do so.
The article highlights the uncertainty that many feel as we await clarity on the Trump administration’s plans. LHSCD will continue to provide updates as those plans come in to focus.
