In a significant policy announcement, President Donald Trump has declared his intention to use military resources to deport illegal aliens.
Following a post by Washington D.C. activist Tom Fitton, Trump confirmed plans to initiate a mass deportation program by declaring a national emergency.
Early Monday morning, through a post on Truth Social, Trump made his intentions clear: to leverage the powers of a national emergency for mass deportations.
This declaration aligns with the stringent immigration policies he championed during his presidential campaign, the Washington Examiner reported.
The catalyst for this announcement was the post from Fitton, the president of Judicial Watch.
Fitton’s message indicated that the incoming administration was ready to utilize military assets to enforce immigration laws vigorously.
Trump’s reaction to Fitton’s post was succinct yet affirmative.
He simply responded, “TRUE!!” on the same social media platform.
The comment underscores Trump’s commitment to the described approach.
Tom Homan, appointed as the “border czar” for the upcoming Trump administration, elaborated on the deportation plans.
His focus, he explained, would be to first prioritize illegal aliens who pose threats to public safety and national security.
Homan further stressed the importance of prioritizing illegals who have already received deportation orders from federal immigration judges yet remain in the country.
During an interview on Fox & Friends, Homan addressed the criticism surrounding the deportation policies.
He emphasized the legal processes in place, such as the right to claim asylum and the judicial hearings that follow.
He reiterated the necessity of enforcing deportation orders, questioning the point of the legal process if its outcomes are not respected.
“What the hell are we doing?” he asked, highlighting the disconnect between judicial orders and their enforcement.
According to a report by the Wall Street Journal, approximately 1.3 million illegal aliens currently in the U.S. have ignored their deportation orders.
The planned use of military resources for deportations has sparked a debate on the appropriateness and legality of such measures.
Legal experts and immigration advocates are closely monitoring the developments, anticipating potential legal challenges to the emergency declaration.
Community leaders and legal analysts are gearing up for a robust response to the proposed deportation program.
Many on the Left are using the plans to stoke fear among immigrant communities.
With the policy details now public, the administration faces both national and international scrutiny as it moves forward with its plans.
