Trump plans to declare national emergency and use the army for mass deportations

• Trump plans mass deportations with military support.
• 11 million immigrants affected.
• Plan seeks to avoid legal challenges.

President-elect Donald Trump announced Monday his intention to declare a national emergency and use the US military to carry out mass deportations.

Trump made a promise to deport millions of undocumented immigrants one of the pillars of his 2024 presidential campaign.

In a post on Truth Social, Trump confirmed how his administration will execute this controversial plan.

The news emerged after Tom Fitton, president of Judicial Watch, claimed that Trump was ready to use military assets to implement a mass deportation program.

Trump responded to Fitton’s post by writing «TRUTH!» on their social media platform.

An estimated 11 million undocumented immigrants reside in the United States.

Mass deportations could affect some 20 million families nationwide.

Lawyer and immigrant advocacy groups are already preparing to challenge the plan in court.

Trump’s team is seeking to design executive orders that can withstand legal challenges, learning from the defeat of his Muslim ban during his first term.

Among the measures, they plan to eliminate the parole program for immigrants from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua and Venezuela.

He has appointed Tom Homan, former acting head of ICE, as his “border czar.”

Additionally, he nominated South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem to be secretary of the Department of Homeland Security.
