'TRUE!!': Trump confirms support for major step in mass deportation push to 'reverse the Biden invasion'

Trump responded to a Truth Social post by Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton, who said that Trump is reportedly "prepared to declare a national emergency and will use military assets to reverse the Biden invasion through a mass deportation program.""TRUE!!" Trump posted.

Trump declared a national emergency at the southern border in 2019 in order to allocate more money to the construction of a border wall amid congressional inaction on the subject. Military assets have been used in a number of ways in regard to border security, including in Texas. However, it is not clear how they would be used related to deportations.

Trump made a historic mass deportation campaign a cornerstone of his 2024 campaign, and his top officials have repeated that promise since he was elected this month.

He has also promised to invoke the Alien Enemies Act to remove gang members, drug dealers and cartel members from the U.S., with the help of multiple government agencies.

Additionally, he previously said he is prepared to move troops to the southern border and use the Navy to impose a "fentanyl blockade" on U.S. waters.

Karoline Leavitt, a spokesperson for the transition team told Fox News Digital, "The American people re-elected President Trump by a resounding margin, giving him a mandate to implement the promises he made on the campaign trail. He will deliver." 

Trump is likely to face significant resistance from blue states for his deportation operation. Massachusetts Gov. Maura Healey said she is prepared to use "every tool in the tool box" to protect its citizens and residents and vowed that state police would "absolutely not" assist Trump in the operation.

Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker said last week that he is "going to do everything that I can to protect our undocumented immigrants."

However, he conceded there were some circumstances where his state would work with the federal government to deport illegal immigrants.
