Nov 18, 2024, 03:05 PM

President-elect Donald Trump confirmed on Monday that he plans to declare a national emergency and use military assets to carry out mass deportations of illegal immigrants. Responding "TRUE!!!" on his Truth Social platform to reports by Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton, Trump stated that this action is necessary to address what he terms the "Biden invasion" at the southern border. The administration is preparing a mass deportation program that would involve deploying the U.S. military to reverse the border crisis. Trump has pledged to create the "largest deportation force" in history to deport millions of illegal immigrants, starting with those who have entered the country during the Biden administration.
