Fox News doesn't want to talk about Donald Trump's mass deportation plan
In one of the two segments about Trump's plan, Fox hosts endorsed the idea but noted that it would likely face legal challenges

On February 29, former president and presumed GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump brought his campaign to Eagle Pass, Texas, to spotlight the U.S. southern border, saying, “It's the worst border ever in the history of the world.” During an appearance on Hannity that evening, Trump reiterated that, if elected, he would “deport a lot of people,” adding that ”the way you do it is your local police."
Even though Fox News hosts and guests are routinely fixated on immigration and fearmongering about migrants, the network has mostly ignored Trump’s plan for mass deportation, airing just two segments about the plan since his trip to the border.
