President-elect Donald Trump confirms that he intends to use the U.S. military to assist with his promised mass deportations of undocumented immigrants.
Early Monday morning, Trump responded to a post from conservative activist Tom Fitton that claimed the incoming president plans to declare a national emergency on immigration and deploy troops.
In a one-word response, Trump posted, "TRUE!!!"
While campaigning, Trump told Time Magazine that he would use local law enforcement and possibly the National Guard to carry out his plan to mass deport millions of undocumented residents. He also shared plans with a crowd during a campaign stop in Aurora, Colorado.
