Donald Trump, the president-elect, mentioned how many people would be immediately deported from the United States, describing his immigration stance on CBS News’ “60 Minutes.”

He said that approximately two to three million undocumented immigrants could be deported in a short time after he’s sworn into office.

Trump said these undocumented immigrants who will be deported have criminal records.

“What we are going to do is get the people that are criminal and have criminal records, gang members, drug dealers, where a lot of these people, probably two million—it could be even three million—we are getting them out of our country or we are going to incarcerate,” Trump said. “But we’re getting them out of our country, they’re here illegally.”
