President-elect Donald Trump announced plans to declare a national emergency upon taking office, using military assets to deport illegal immigrants. Trump confirmed the report after a post by Tom Fitton on Truth Social.
The plan involves mass deportations, but legal challenges may arise due to the Posse Comitatus Act, which limits military use for domestic policy enforcement. Trump may also invoke the 1798 Alien Enemies Act to target criminal gangs. He has appointed former ICE head Tom Homan as “border czar” to enforce stricter immigration policies, including pressure on sanctuary cities.
