Donald Trump Confirms 'Use of Military' for Widespread Deportation of Illegal Immigrants

The elected President of the United States confirmed that he intends to declare a national emergency regarding border protection and use the U.S. military for the widespread deportation of illegal immigrants. On Monday, November 28, Donald Trump endorsed a message from a conservative political activist on social media, which stated a few days earlier: "The elected President intends to declare a national emergency and use military resources for the widespread deportation of immigrants." Mr. Trump added while resharing this post: "It is true." One of the key slogans of Donald Trump's election campaign was the promise to deport millions of illegal immigrants who entered the U.S. during Joe Biden's presidency. He has nominated Tom Homan, the former and acting head of U.S. Customs and Border Protection, as the candidate for the head of the Border Patrol. Tom Homan stated in July at the Republican National Congress: "I have a message for the millions of illegal immigrants that Joe Biden has flooded into our country: You better start packing your bags now." Responsible agencies estimate that there are currently about 11 million illegal immigrants residing in the U.S. It is predicted that Donald Trump's plan for deportation will affect the status of 20 million families. Despite the fact that the large influx of immigrants and border control between the U.S. and Mexico is an old issue, Donald Trump exaggerates this problem, even claiming that immigrants are 'occupying' America and that they are killing and assaulting Americans. The elected President of the United States made baseless accusations against immigrants during his election campaign and presented misleading statistics and claims regarding their numbers and the Biden administration's performance in this regard. Mr. Trump has not yet announced the details of his policies and actions regarding illegal immigration, but he promised during his campaign that he might even enforce the so-called 'Alien Enemies Act' enacted in 1798. Critics say this law is outdated, and the last instance of its enforcement was the internment of Japanese-American citizens in mass detention camps without legal warrants during World War II. The number of migrant arrests at the southern U.S. borders is currently almost the same as in 2020, the last year of Donald Trump's first presidential term. However, this number reached about 250,000 cases per month last December, which was an unprecedented record.
