President Eisenhower loaded hundreds of illegal aliens at a time onto rust bucket cargo ships and dropped them off in Veracruz.  I believe it was part of "Operation Wetback."  Over 1 million were deported and the point being, it's been done before.
Operation Wetback also swept up and shipped off a whole bunch of US citizens. 

Ask Japanese-Americans how well citizenship, and the documentation thereof, helped them in 1942.

I'm sure today Trump's mass deportation force would be able to identify US citizens and avoid deporting them.  Also, the example of Japanese internment camps you mention, those interred were done so by a Democratic administration.  So, no one is perfect.

How would they do that?

Could be difficult if they lie about it.  Otherwise, not hard.

If I'm undocumented, I'm certainly going to lie like a rug versus going back to wherever.

I meant US citizens saying they're actually illegal immigrants so they can bitch about it later after being deported.  I'm sure that'll happen.

Operation Wetback II won't fly in today's PC culture.  They'll have to come up with something else.  And I'd bet most of those deported will not be Mexican citizens but from South America, Africa, and Asia.

We are not required under law to carry documents of any sort.  I certainly don't carry mine.

My guess as to what happens:

1.  There will be some highly publicized deportations of some individuals, probably more smoke than fire.
2.  There will be efforts to round up more folks that get stymied by court actions (and media coverage, which will be even more harsh).
3.  Congress probably will fund more "border wall".
4.  In four years, we'll still have 20 million or so "undocumenteds" in the US.  Trump et al. will blame "liberals".
5.  Some of the Biden measures will be strengthened to an extent and border crossing figures will drop some.

It will remain an electoral issue in 2028.
