Trump confirms deportation strategy will include national emergency and militaryBy Andrea Castillo, Los Angeles Times (TNS)WASHINGTON — President-elect Donald Trump’s plan to execute mass deportations of immigrants in the U.S. illegally will involve the military and a national emergency declaration, he confirmed Monday. !”A spokesperson for the Trump transition team didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment. During his first term, Trump bypassed Congress to divert Pentagon funds to expand the border wall by declaring a national emergency. President Biden terminated the emergency order just after he took office in 2021. On the campaign trail, Trump said his strategy would rely on military troops, friendly state and local law enforcement and wartime powers.
