President-elect Donald Trump is emphasizing his plan to declare a national emergency to carry out his campaign promise of mass deportations.
President-elect Donald Trump on Monday confirmed he would declare a national emergency to carry out his campaign promise of mass deportations of migrants living in the U.S. without legal permission.
Overnight, Trump responded to a social media post from Judicial Watch’s Tom Fitton, who said earlier this month there are reports the incoming administration is preparing such a declaration and to use «military assets» to deport the migrants.
“TRUE!!!” Trump wrote.
Trump pledged to get started on mass deportations as soon as he enters office.
«On Day 1, I will launch the largest deportation program in American history to get the criminals out», he said during a rally at Madison Square Garden in the closing days of the presidential race.
