Donald Trump has confirmed that his plan for the mass deportation of illegal immigrants will include declaring a national emergency and involving the military.
He wrote about this this morning on the social network Truth Social in response to an activist who said that he had heard about such statements.
Let us recall that the fight against illegal migration was one of the key points of Trump’s election program.
Axios explains that this is the first time Trump has confirmed his willingness to take such measures to expel illegal immigrants.
Trump has repeatedly criticized the immigration policies of President Biden and his administration. In his opinion, the United States could turn into “Venezuela on steroids” due to the influx of illegal migrants.
The portal notes that Trump is already nominating candidates known for their tough stance on migration for positions in his future administration. Yes, Trump previously appointed the former acting US Immigration and Customs Enforcement Director Thomas Goman is responsible for immigration policy and border security. In addition, Kristi Noem has been nominated to head the Department of Homeland Security.
According to Axios, there are 11 million undocumented migrants living in the United States. Expected deportations could affect 20 million families. Defenders of migrants’ rights are already preparing to challenge the authorities’ plans in the courts. However, the Trump team subsequently intends to resort to issuing presidential decrees that will circumvent lawsuits in the courts and implement measures to control migration.
