Trump's Border Czar Considers Military Bases for Mass Deportations, Plans National Emergency
Dec 30, 2024, 04:58 PM
President-elect Donald Trump's border czar, Tom Homan, is exploring the use of U.S. military bases and resources to facilitate mass deportations of illegal immigrants. Homan has indicated that using military assets as 'force multipliers' is under consideration, particularly for building infrastructure such as detention facilities and aiding in transportation. This approach would involve the military in logistical support rather than enforcement, aligning with past uses under Presidents Barack Obama and Joe Biden for housing unaccompanied migrant children and Afghan refugees. Homan's strategy also includes reinstating family detention centers and conducting workplace raids, aiming to prioritize the deportation of illegal immigrants involved in criminal activities. Trump's administration plans to declare a national emergency on immigration on his first day in office, which could enable the diversion of Pentagon funds for these operations. Homan plans to hold weekly press briefings to ensure transparency on these efforts.
