President-elect Donald Trump campaigned throughout the 2024 general election cycle on carrying the largest mass deportation operation in American history. This week, he confirmed that in order to do so, he plans on declaring a national emergency and using the military. But with just a few weeks until he moves into the White House, experts say this may not be as easy to do.
On his social media platform, Truth Social, Trump responded to a post made earlier this month by Tom Fitton, who runs the conservative group Judicial Watch, and who wrote that Trump's administration would "declare a national emergency and will use military assets" to address illegal immigration "through a mass deportation program."
