Former President Donald Trump has announced plans for a significant crackdown on illegal immigration, stating he will deploy U.S. soldiers to facilitate mass deportations. Trump emphasized that he is prepared to use the military 'to the maximum level allowed by law' to locate and deport undocumented immigrants residing in the United States. He warned that countries refusing to accept deported migrants could face tariffs and restrictions on U.S. business. Tom Homan, a key figure in Trump's border strategy, indicated that the military would play a supportive role in the deportation efforts, which are set to begin in Chicago. Additionally, Trump reiterated his intention to pardon individuals involved in the January 6 Capitol attack upon taking office.
