While he declined to provide details, he said the plan will be “humane and ethical and treats everybody well, but we have to solve a problem”, referring to illegal immigration. Asked on a Sunday morning political show whether the Trump plan would indeed include the mass deportations, she replied bluntly: “To be determined”.

She even went so far as to say not doing so would be “an affront to the rule of law”.
