President-elect Donald Trump confirmed that he plans on declaring a national emergency while utilizing “military assets” to enact a mass deportation campaign, reversing the flood of millions of illegal migrants who exploited the relaxed border policies under the Biden administration.
Trump’s confirmation was made apparent in a Truth Social post on Monday, in response to a report from conservative activist Tom Fitton.
“GOOD NEWS: Reports are the incoming @RealDonaldTrump administration is prepared to declare a national emergency and will use military assets to reverse the Biden invasion through a mass deportation program,” Fitton wrote, to which Trump responded, “TRUE!!!”
Trump has also previously detailed his plans to initiate a mass deportation campaign “On Day 1.”
“On Day 1, I will launch the largest deportation program in American history to get the criminals out,” Trump previously stated at a Madison Square Garden rally prior to Election Day. “I will rescue every city and town that has been invaded and conquered, and we will put these vicious and bloodthirsty criminals in jail, then kick them the hell out of our country as fast as possible.”
However, political analysts have noted that the Posse Comitatus Act of 1878 could possibly present a roadblock for Trump’s plan, as the act limits the federal government’s ability to utilize the military to enforce domestic policy.
Nevertheless, the U.S. National Guard could also be a loophole that Trump utilizes, as the 1878 act doesn’t prohibit the National Guard from filling in and enforcing Trump’s executive action.
“If the incoming administration were to pursue such a strategy, it might involve deploying National Guard units or other military resources under different legal frameworks, potentially framing it as a public safety or humanitarian effort. However, this approach would most certainly provoke considerable backlash from civil rights groups and the public,” stated an anonymous ICE source, according to the New York Post.
Military defense attorney David Younts revealed that the military could be involved in more of a “support role,” providing logistics, security at detention centers and drone surveillance, even if it wouldn’t be allowed to detain illegal immigrants.
“When I worked with the National Guard, we would do things with the FBI, ATF or DEA. We would be doing a large bust and we would provide overwatch from helicopters, we would provide drone support, we would do all of those things,” Younts added.
Meanwhile, Trump’s appointed “border czar,” former acting Immigration and Customs Enforcement chief Tom Homan, explained that he will work to remove illegal immigrants from every city, regardless of their “sanctuary” status.
“I’ve been clear. President Trump’s been clear. Public safety and national security threats will be a priority because they have to be, they pose the most danger to this country,” Homan recently stated. “If they’re not willing to do it, then get out of the way – we’re coming.”
The American Immigration Council estimates that there are currently 11 million illegals residing in the United States, and the process of removing them could end up costing billions of dollars annually. However, other groups have disputed that number and have highlighted that this is a national security issue that needs to be dealt with immediately.
“Steven Camarota, the center’s research director, recently provided PolitiFact with a preliminary estimate of 14 million people in the country illegally as of March 2024,” according to the Austin American-Statesman.
Meanwhile, social media users chimed in and commented on the news of Trump’s confirmation.
“Sounds good to me and if there’s any opposition [and we know there will be] remember – Clinton deported, Obummer deported,Bush deported illegals – where was the uproar then???!” posted an online user on Truth Social.
Nothing xenophobic about this. If you’re in the country illegally, you need to get out. I don’t care what your race, your religion, or your background is. You broke the law to come into the country. You’re breaking the law to stay in the country. And many are probably breaking…
Donald Trump has announced that he WILL push to abolish the Department of Education and give the power over our school system back to the states. Glenn and Stu review his plan to overhaul the entire education system, including clearing out all the “anti-American insanity” that has taken over our colleges. But will he be able to make these big moves? Glenn and Stu also discuss some rumored picks for Trump’s cabinet, including Sen. Marco Rubio as Secretary of State, the confirmed Trump pick, and Rep. Elise Stefanik as Ambassador to the United Nations.
Dallas Police have confirmed the presence of the Venezuelan prison gang, Tren de Aragua, in North Dallas. The notorious gang has spread across the U.S., particularly in sanctuary cities, with activities reportedly linked to human trafficking and violent crime. A viral video has recently surfaced, but police clarified that the footage, despite claims, is from an isolated, year-old incident. The rise of Tren de Aragua in the U.S. highlights the broader issue of unvetted migration, exacerbated by current border policies. Critics argue that the Biden-Harris administration's failure to secure the southern border has allowed dangerous criminal elements to establish operations in American cities, including Dallas. The spread of such violent gangs directly correlates to weak immigration enforcement, putting public safety at risk. Conservatives are calling for stricter border policies to prevent further gang infiltration.
I’m not going to allow my state to be taken over by Venezuelan gangs.
I’ll continue to be on the front lines of this fight with the people on the ground until these illegal gang members are removed!https://t.co/GFdqeLCto7
Congresswoman Lauren Boebert (CO-03) and her Colorado colleagues sounded the alarm on escalating violence attributed to the Tren de Aragua (TdA) gang, a Venezuelan criminal organization, in Aurora, Colorado.
Boebert hosted a listening session to spotlight the breakdown of law and order caused by unchecked immigration and insufficient action by law enforcement.

The roundtable, attended by residents and local leaders, revealed firsthand accounts of gang violence, the failure of sanctuary policies, and the impact of open borders on the community.
Boebert condemned the lack of attention from media and political figures, stating, “The fake news and liberal politicians with an agenda continue to downplay the violence and Venezuelan gang activity in Colorado.”
She accused officials of covering up the violence to maintain their narrative of open borders and sanctuary city policies. She emphasized that elected officials should unite to round up and deport these gang members and protect Coloradans from what she termed a “takeover” of local communities.
Testimonies from residents painted a grim picture of the situation in Aurora. Cindy Romero, a former resident of the Edge at Lowry apartment complex, described the terror of living in a gang-controlled building.
“I have cameras picking them up, moving the guns… I caught a screenshot of them holding a family on my floor by gunpoint,” she recalled. Romero explained that despite numerous calls to law enforcement, little action was taken. “I’ve got bullet holes in my car… I had to leave because I am not bulletproof.”
Aurora resident and small business owner Chet Ellefson likened the conditions to those of a “Third World country,” with doors kicking in and rampant lawlessness.
“There is no fear when it comes to the police,” Ellefson said, describing how even law enforcement hesitates to respond to calls in the area.
Adding to the chorus of concerns, Aurora Council Member Danielle Jurinsky revealed that nonprofits, funded by state and Denver resources, have been placing migrants into unsafe living conditions in Aurora without adequate oversight. “No housing quality inspections were conducted… It’s primed for takeover,” Jurinsky noted.
I'm happy to see the @AuroraPD finally start to tell the truth and make arrests! Aurora citizens deserve to feel safe! https://t.co/oWv70P08Iw
The event highlighted the inadequacy of current immigration policies. Former ICE Director Tom Homan blamed the Biden administration for releasing millions of immigrants into the U.S. without proper vetting, noting that “98% of the people being released [have] no data on them.”
He further criticized sanctuary cities for providing safe havens for criminals. Homan’s sentiments were echoed by other speakers, including former ICE Field Office Director John Fabbricatore, who pointed to the high recidivism rate among criminal aliens.
The roundtable also underscored the strained relationship between law enforcement and federal immigration authorities. State Senator Mark Baisley and State Representative Ron Weinberg are pushing to overturn laws that prevent local police from cooperating with ICE, arguing that the current restrictions allow violent criminals to remain in the country unchecked.
I just came from Aurora, CO. We’ve seen the reports of small towns across America getting overwhelmed – now another example of dangerous Tren de Aragua related Venezuelans harming people across America. https://t.co/EXBjF1wzg0
As the crime wave grows, Aurora residents, law enforcement, and officials face increasing challenges. With tens of thousands of illegal immigrants entering the local Colorado region and local police stretched thin, the impact of this gang violence continues to ripple throughout the community. The testimonies offered during the roundtable are a stark reminder of the consequences of uncontrolled immigration, inadequate law enforcement response in sanctuary cities, and the complete and total failure of the Harris-Biden Administration to protect U.S. sovereignty and citizens.
