Trump's deportation policy costs US economy 668,000 jobs: study

A recent Brookings study indicates that President Trump's mass deportation efforts have negatively impacted the U.S. economy, leading to an estimated loss of 668,000 jobs. These job losses extend to both U.S.-born and foreign-born workers, with specific industries like construction and hospitality being disproportionately affected. The study suggests that for every arrest made by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), approximately 30 jobs are lost, highlighting a significant economic cost beyond the immediate enforcement actions.
