President-elect Donald Trump confirmed on Monday he is planning on declaring a national emergency when he takes office in January, something that will enable him to use the U.S. military to help carry out his mass deportation plans.
Trump gave the confirmation on his social media platform, Truth Social, echoing a comment made by Tom Fitton, president of conservative group Judicial Watch. Fitton had posted earlier this month that Trump was "prepared to declare a national emergency and will use military assets to reverse the Biden invasion through a mass deportation program." Trump reposted the message with the caption "TRUE!!"
