Donald Trump, poised to assume the presidency, has openly confirmed his intention to declare a national emergency to address illegal immigration.
Engaging with a post on Truth Social by activist Tom Fitton, Trump emphatically affirmed the claim that his administration would use military resources to enforce a mass deportation initiative.
“TRUE!!!” he declared, signaling a no-holds-barred approach to immigration policy.
A Bold Promise to Deport Millions
Throughout his political career, Trump has been vocal about his mission to curb illegal immigration and expel undocumented individuals currently residing in the United States.
Following his victory in the 2024 election, Trump reiterated his commitment, claiming that the effort to deport an estimated 11 million people comes without a “price tag.”
In an interview with NBC, he stated, “When people have killed and murdered, when drug lords have destroyed countries, they’re going back. There is no price tag.”
However, estimates from the American Immigration Council suggest the cost of such a large-scale deportation could reach $315 billion, factoring in economic losses due to reduced labor.
Despite these projections, Trump’s advisors reportedly began strategizing at his Mar-a-Lago residence, devising a plan to initiate mass deportations from the very start of his presidency.
Executive Orders and Border Closures
Sources close to Trump’s inner circle revealed plans for immediate executive orders, the most significant of which would temporarily close the southern border.
The closure aims to address what Trump describes as an immigration crisis, giving officials time to process a backlog of immigration cases.
Accusing the Biden administration of allowing over 10 million illegal entries, Trump estimates the total number of undocumented immigrants in the U.S. at 20 million.
To strengthen border security, Trump intends to deploy more armed officers on horseback and resume construction on the controversial border wall.
During his first term, the wall extended to approximately 700 miles, but construction halted under President Biden.
Trump now promises to complete the project, potentially funded through corporate sponsorships.
“Operation Aurora” and Mass Deportation Strategies
Trump’s deportation initiative will reportedly launch with “Operation Aurora,” targeting undocumented immigrants linked to criminal gangs.
This strategy draws inspiration from incidents in Aurora, Colorado, where a Venezuelan gang allegedly turned residential areas into hubs for illegal activities.
Leveraging the Alien Enemies Act of 1798, Trump plans to detain and deport individuals from nations he deems “hostile.”
The next phase will focus on expelling over one million individuals whose residency applications were denied.
Following this, “Step Three” involves targeting workplaces such as farms and factories for raids, which critics argue are unconstitutional.
Those apprehended will be sent to detention centers for expedited deportation.
Humanitarian and Legal Concerns
Civil rights groups, including the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), have condemned the proposed measures, describing them as “un-American” and a violation of constitutional rights.
The aggressive stance has also sparked debate about the economic and social implications of such policies, especially in industries heavily reliant on immigrant labor.
Looking Ahead
As Trump prepares to take office, his immigration agenda remains one of the most polarizing topics in U.S. politics.
While his supporters applaud the tough measures, critics warn of potential humanitarian crises and significant economic repercussions.
The world now watches to see how these plans unfold and the ripple effects they may generate.
