mass deportations
Large-scale forced exile
Mass deportations refers to the large-scale, government-organized removal of people from a country, typically targeting immigrants, refugees, or ethnic groups.
The term implies systematic operations affecting thousands or millions rather than individual cases: The administration promised mass deportations of undocumented workers.
Historically associated with forced population transfers, ethnic cleansing, and authoritarian regimes, though also used in contemporary immigration policy debates.
