President-elect Donald Trump said Monday that he would declare a national emergency and use the military to execute his mass deportation plans.
Conservative activist Tom Fitton said earlier this month on social media that "reports are incoming" that Trump is "prepared to declare a national emergency and will use military assets to reverse the Biden invasion through a mass deportation program."
Trump reposted Fitton's post Monday with the comment "TRUE!!!"
During his campaign, Trump repeatedly promised a "mass deportation" that would round up immigrants around the country who have violated the law.
"The Trump world has been very deliberately – or sloppily, depending on your point of view – mashing together the border and mass deportations," said Aaron Reichlin-Melnick, senior fellow at the American Immigration Council. "They are two different topics."
