President-elect Donald Trump announced on his social media platform that he intends to declare a national emergency to deploy the US military for mass deportations of undocumented migrants. He confirmed this plan in response to a conservative commentator, raising concerns about the logistical and financial challenges of such operations. Trump’s comments reiterate his campaign promise to utilize the National Guard and begin deportations on his first day in office, January 20, 2025, despite skepticism regarding the feasibility of executing the largest mass deportation in US history.
