President-elect Donald Trump made the border and immigration a key focus of his campaign, and promised to conduct mass deportations.

Immigration was a major theme of President-elect Donald Trump's campaign, where he pledged a mass deportation. Polls show he still won many votes from Latino Americans.

Border security was once a top concern, but falling illegal crossings and concerns around abortion appear to have shifted opinion.

In November 1994, immigrants and their families found themselves under siege as California voters overwhelmingly passed into law Proposition 187, a ballot initiative that sought to deny basic social services—such as healthcare and education—to undocumented immigrants and their families.

Tuesday's election saw significant laws and regulations passed on the state level through various ballot measures.

Proposition 314, known as the "Secure the Border Act", seeks to prevent illegal border crossings through Mexico's six ports to Arizona.

Arizona voters are set to decide whether to let local police arrest migrants suspected of illegally entering the state from Mexico.

U.S. President-elect Donald Trump will retake the White House with ambitious plans for broad import tariffs, immigration restrictions and additional tax cuts that analysts see delivering a short-term boost to the economy but also larger budget deficits,

Both campaigns have made immigration a top issue in the 2024 election with former President Trump making the migrant crisis a centerpiece of his run and said he would carry out the biggest deportation event in American history.
