The U.S. President-elect Donald Trump plans to introduce a state of "emergency" and involve the military to carry out the largest operation to deport illegal migrants and criminals.
Newsweek reported this on Monday, November 18, with reference to press secretary Karoline Leavitt.
Trump has vowed to use "every power necessary" to fulfill his campaign promises on mass deportation. On his Truth Social platform, the politician responded that he was "considering the move" of using military resources to deport foreign criminals who entered the country illegally.
"President Trump will marshal every federal and state power necessary to institute the largest deportation operation of illegal criminals, drug dealers, and human traffickers in American history while simultaneously lowering costs for families," spokeswoman Karoline Leavitt told Newsweek.
Besides, Trump confirmed a statement by the president of Judicial Watch, a public group dedicated to investigating government corruption, Tom Fitton, who wrote: "Reports are the incoming @RealDonaldTrump administration prepared to declare a national emergency and will use military assets to reverse the Biden invasion through a mass deportation program."
Responding to Fitton's remarks, Trump wrote: "TRUE."
