Donald Trump, the designated US President, has confirmed his controversial plans to use military forces for mass deportations of illegal immigrants. With the intent to declare a national emergency, Trump aims to address what he terms the "Biden invasion." This plan, announced on his social media platform Truth Social, targets millions of undocumented immigrants, potentially impacting up to 20 million families.
The proposed strategy involves deploying the National Guard and other military units to conduct these deportations, focusing initially on those with criminal records. Trump’s announcement has stirred significant debate, with legal experts questioning the president's authority to enforce such measures and highlighting potential humanitarian and financial repercussions.
In his bid to secure the border and reverse immigration policies under President Biden, Trump has assembled a team of hardliners, including Tom Homan, known for supporting contentious measures like separating children from their families. Critics warn of the fear and panic such actions could incite among immigrant communities, while supporters argue it is necessary for national security.
Despite facing likely legal challenges and opposition from immigration advocates, Trump remains firm in his commitment to implement what he promises to be the "largest deportation program" in American history. The plan has been a central theme in his campaign, appealing to his conservative base and solidifying his stance on immigration policy as he prepares for his second term in office.
