Senator Rand Paul has publicly opposed President Donald Trump's plan to use the military for mass deportations of illegal immigrants. Paul supports the removal of individuals in the U.S. illegally, particularly those who have committed crimes, but he strongly disagrees with deploying the military to American cities. He argues that such a move would send a terrible message both to the world and to American citizens, describing it as a 'terrible image.' Paul emphasized that the military should not be used for this purpose and described the plan as a 'huge mistake.' He also stated that he would not support an emergency declaration to facilitate this action.
