Governor Cox outlines plans to aid in deportations under new Trump administration

Utah Governor Spencer Cox announced a state plan to assist the Trump administration in deporting undocumented immigrants who have committed crimes. The plan aims to identify criminal illegal migrants and work with federal agencies to ensure public safety. Democratic leaders expressed concerns about equating immigration with criminality, while immigrant advocates worry about the impact on the community. Utah’s efforts will involve collaboration with state departments and lawmakers to address immigration issues in the criminal justice system. The state is seeking to work closely with the Trump administration on immigration policies, having previously sent troops to the U.S.-Mexico border. Cox, who endorsed Trump in July, believes that increased border enforcement will help address criminal activities by deported felons. The state is urging the federal government to provide more funding and personnel for deportations and detention. Utah aims to prioritize public safety while upholding its values of compassion and fairness towards families and immigrants. Cox criticized federal immigration policies for their negative impact on the state and hopes the new administration will address these challenges more effectively.
