Senator Rand Paul has publicly opposed former President Donald Trump's plan to use the military for mass deportations, calling it a 'huge mistake'. Paul argues that deploying the military in U.S. cities to collect people would send a terrible message both domestically and internationally. He emphasizes that the military has never been used for such purposes in the past and should not be used now, highlighting the negative optics of such an action. Paul supports the removal of undocumented immigrants, particularly those who have committed crimes, but is against using the military for this purpose.
