As Trump carries out his mass deportation operation, residents are banding together to block raids and distribute groceries A year into his second term, Donald Trump’s pledge to stage the “largest deportation operation in American history” has already made an indelible mark on the nation.

Nearly 300,000 people have been deported, and a record 65,000 people are being held in detention centers.
