Mass deportation refers to the large-scale removal or expulsion of individuals from a country, typically based on their immigration status. It involves the systematic deportation of groups of people, often undocumented immigrants, or those deemed in violation of immigration laws, rather than targeting individuals one by one. This practice is usually carried out by government authorities such as immigration enforcement agencies such as ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement) and may involve the deportation of entire communities or sectors of workers.
