Trump vowed to deport the estimated 11 million undocumented immigrants when he launched his campaign in June last year. He promised to create a " deportation force " and to impose criminal penalties on those immigrants whom he painted as rapists and drug dealers. This area of the real-estate mogul's immigration platform proposes tripling the number of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers from 5,000 to 15,000. Trump also wants ICE officers to cooperate with local law-enforcement on gang raids, specifically targeting undocumented immigrants who are believed to have gang connections. But the candidate has been wavering on his overall immigration platform of late. The Trump campaign spent several days in August adjusting its tone and language on the matter. “There could certainly be a softening," Trump said in an August interview with Fox News's Sean Hannity, "because we're not looking to hurt people." He then quickly refused to rule out some form of mass deportation, returning to a hardline approach reminiscent of the primary campaign. Refugee resettlement

Trump's stance on refugee resettlement focuses primary on screening refugees who seek asylum in the US.
