‘TRUE!!’: Trump confirms support for major step in mass deportation push to ‘reverse the Biden invasion’
President-elect Donald Trump has confirmed his intention to declare a national emergency and potentially utilize military assets in a mass deportation effort set to begin on day one of his administration. This confirmation came in response to a post by Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton, who stated that Trump is ready to declare a national emergency and use military resources to reverse what he called the “Biden invasion” through a large-scale deportation program.
Trump’s commitment to this deportation plan has been a central theme of his 2024 campaign, with his top officials reiterating this promise since his election earlier this month. The former president has drawn parallels to President Eisenhower’s deportation operation, vowing to carry out the largest domestic deportation campaign in American history.
In addition to employing military assets at the southern border, Trump has also expressed his willingness to utilize the Navy to enforce a “fentanyl blockade” in U.S. waters. This aggressive stance on immigration enforcement has sparked discussions within the Trump administration about expanding detention centers and collaborating with private prison companies for potential expansion.
Last week, Trump made key immigration-related staffing announcements, appointing former acting ICE Director Tom Homan as the “border czar” responsible for overseeing border security and the deportation operation. He also named Kristi Noem as his choice to lead the Department of Homeland Security.
However, Trump is expected to face resistance from blue states like Massachusetts and Illinois, where governors have vowed to protect undocumented immigrants and limit cooperation with federal deportation efforts. Despite this opposition, some state officials have acknowledged the limitations of their authority in preventing federal law enforcement agencies from conducting raids and deportations.
As Trump prepares to implement his deportation plan, it remains to be seen how states will navigate the complex relationship between federal immigration enforcement and local law enforcement. The new administration is poised to deliver on its campaign promises, setting the stage for a contentious debate over immigration policy in the coming months.
