US President-elect Donald Trump has confirmed he plans to impose a national emergency on border security, using the military for a mass deportation of undocumented migrants.
In his recent election campaign, Trump’s top focus was on immigration as he promised to deport millions and stabilise the border with Mexico following a large number of migrants crossed illegally during President Biden’s administration.
Taking to his social media platform Truth Social, Donald Trump amplified a recent post by a conservative worker, which said the president-elect was set to impose a national emergency and use military assets with the view to reverse the Biden invasion through a mass deportation program.
Trump alongside the repost, commented, “True!”
Earlier this month, Trump sealed a remarkable comeback to the presidency defeating Democratic Vice President Kamala Harris.
The president-elect named former Immigration and Customs Enforcement acting chief Tom Homan as his border czar, who appearing at the Republican National Convention in July told supporters that he got a message to the illegal immigrants that Biden’s released in our country: You better start packing now.
According to official sources, about 11 million people are living illegally in the United States. Trump’s deportation plan will directly impact around 20 million families in the US.
