Trump has promised to round up and ship off 11 million immigrants in the U.S. who lack permanent legal status.

The deportation effort would require hundreds of new detention facilities and hundreds of thousands of new immigration agents, judges and other staff.

Legal experts are divided over how such an effort would fare in the courts.

Some law enforcement leaders have declared that they will not participate in mass deportation efforts.

Some analyses suggest that a complete mass deportation could cut more than a trillion dollars of production from the U.S. economy.

But none of that accounts for the human toll of mass deportations.

Marco was deported once before, in 2010 , and had planned to make peace with life in Honduras .
