President-elect Donald Trump has confirmed plans to use military resources for mass deportations of undocumented immigrants, declaring it a national emergency.
In a social media post, Trump affirmed his commitment to implementing the "largest deportation program in American history," targeting up to 15-20 million individuals.
His hardline team includes Stephen Miller as Homeland Security Adviser and Tom Homan as "border czar."
Deportations could involve deploying National Guard troops and establishing large detention camps, a strategy likely to face legal and logistical challenges.
Advocates argue the plan lacks public support, citing its economic impact and potential to disrupt families and communities.
Critics emphasize the high cost, estimated at nearly $1 trillion over a decade, and question its feasibility and fairness.
