In a follow-up to what he said last week about conducting mass deportations once reinstalled into the White House, President-elect Donald Trump revealed this week that he plans to declare a national emergency to get the ball rolling.
On his Truth Social platform, Trump confirmed a post by Tom Fitton of Judicial Watch claiming that Trump is “prepared to declare a national emergency and will use military assets to reverse the Biden invasion through a mass deportation program.”
“TRUE!!!” the Donald J. Trump Truth Social account responded to Fitton’s post.
“On day one, I will launch the largest deportation program … in the history of our country,” Trump recently said at one of his final campaign rallies in Pittsburgh on November 4, just one day before the election.
“I will rescue every city and town that has been invaded … and we will put the vicious and bloodthirsty criminals in jail.”
(Related: In case you missed it, Trump is planning to launch mass deportations on Day One of his second term, which begins in January.)
By the looks of it, Trump is, for all intents and purposes, planning to declare a variation of martial law in January, followed by the release of U.S. military soldiers on American soil.
To those who are really upset about America’s illegal immigration problem, this sounds like good news, but the ramifications are more serious. If Trump normalizes the use of the military on American soil, which used to be prohibited under Habeas corpus, America will eventually look like Israel with armed soldiers roaming the streets like police officers.
At the same time, there are an estimated 11 million illegal migrants – some estimates put the number closer to 20 million – who need to be removed and sent home. In Trump’s eyes, the best way to do this is to utilize the military.
To help get the job done, Trump appointed Tom Homan, a former acting head of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), to serve as his “border czar.” Homan will replace failed presidential candidate for the Democrats Kamala Harris, the current border czar under Joe Biden.
South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem will also help with Trump’s deportation efforts as secretary of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS), a creation of former President George W. Bush in response to the 9/11 terrorist attacks.
In a statement, Homan revealed that he will prioritize “the worst first” in Trump’s targeted deportations.
“We’re ready to fight” the mass raids and deportations “both at the legal level, at the advocacy level, and (by) going to the streets,” said Maribel Hernández Rivera, director of policy and government affairs for border and immigration at the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), which supports illegal immigration.
“One of the things that we strongly believe is that when the American people realize what this threat means, they’re not going to go for it.”
Trump is already preparing his administration to resist lawsuits from the ACLU and other pro-illegal outfits by crafting a lineup of executive orders to trump them. Trump learned from his first-term “Muslim ban” failure that he must be more proactive if he wants to stop the opposition from restraining him.
On Jan. 25, 2017, at the start of his first term, Trump signed an executive order on border security that directed DHS to close the southern border and take other immediate steps to secure the nation, including by building more sections of the U.S.-Mexico border wall and adding 5,000 more Border Patrol agents.
That same order called for the entire way the government handles illegal aliens and asylum claims, detentions, and deportations to change, which never happened – but that Trump is planning to have happen now as part of his second term.
