Senate committee debates Trump's deportation plan, focusing on safety, military use, and legal status.

The Senate Judiciary Committee held a hearing to discuss the potential impacts of President-elect Trump's "mass deportation plan." Patty Morin, whose daughter was killed by an illegal immigrant, urged lawmakers to prioritize American safety. Democratic Chair Dick Durbin warned that using active-duty troops for deportations could harm the military and economy, suggesting a focus on deporting those who pose a threat while allowing others a chance to earn legal status. The hearing also highlighted state-level proposals to either aid or hinder Trump's plan.
