‘I don’t know where you draw the line,’ ‘Apprentice’ star said. Lord Sugar has addressed the mass deportations being carried out in the US at the order of his former Apprentice peer Donald Trump. Earlier this week, President Trump’s new immigration policy was implemented, with Immigration and Customs Enforcement raids leading to the arrest of 1,179 people across major cities in the US.

It has been reported by The Washington Post that senior ICE officials have been told by Trump’s team to aggressively ramp up the number of arrests they carry out, with the figure reportedly raised from a hundred every day to at least 1,200 to 1,500.

Lord Sugar has been in the US since Trump’s inauguration, and recently visited the president’s Mar-a-Lago residence. In a new interview, ahead of the return of BBC series The Apprentice, Sugar addressed the immigration policy. The tycoon, who recently mocked tech billionaire Elon Musk’s working relationship with Trump, told PA: “There is a kind of nervous atmosphere amongst people here about being deported, because there’s a lot of non-US citizens here that have got jobs and help to boost the economy.
“I don’t know where you draw the line to leave them here, but get rid of the criminals.”. Asked whether he would consider going into business with the president, Lord Sugar said: “I don’t think that opportunity will ever arise, because he’s too busy at the moment being president.
