President-elect Donald Trump has confirmed his readiness to declare a national emergency and potentially utilize military assets as part of a mass deportation effort set to commence on day one of his administration. This decision follows a Truth Social post by Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton, asserting that Trump is prepared to declare a national emergency and employ military resources to counter the Biden administration's immigration policies.
Trump's affirmation of this plan aligns with his previous actions, such as declaring a national emergency at the southern border in 2019 to secure funding for a border wall. While military assets have been utilized for border security in the past, the specifics of their involvement in deportation operations remain unclear.
