>> on day one, i will launch the largest deportation program in american history. we'll get the criminals out. >> reporter: to do that, trump has said he'll mobilize the military and local police. but he's offed few specific details on how it will actually work. with 11 million undocumented people in the u.s., the process would be expensive and complicated. one report puts the price tag at an estimated $88 billion a year to hire new i.c.e. agents, build detention camps and carry out legal processing. ron vatello was acting i.c.e. director. >> i'm sure it's very expensive. it's worth doing to preserve the rule of law, and to preserve an immigration system that has integrity in the united states. you have to set rules, and you have to enforce those rules. >> reporter: trump says mass deportations are justified by a two centuries-old law, but some

legal experts on the left say trump's interpretation is way off. >> if is not lawful to use a centuries-old statute to deport people. it was for a very specific purpose when a foreign government invades this country. that is not what's happening with grimmigrants here. >> reporter: trump made immigration a major focus of his first administration. he separated families who crossed illegally. now in places like north carolina, this family lives in fear they could be separated. jenny's husband, isabella and mckenzie's dad, is undocument. >> i was afraid that one day they would come home, and he wouldn't be here. >> reporter: so he lives in the shadows. the family asked we don't share his face or his name because they worry he could be deported. >> i don't make any trouble. i just go to work and come home. my family is everything for me. >> reporter: millions of families bracing for what's next. tom llamas, nbc news.
