US President-elect Donald Trump has announced plans to declare a national emergency and utilize military assets to deport millions of undocumented immigrants. Responding to speculation on Truth Social, Trump confirmed the strategy, calling it part of his commitment to the “largest deportation in American history.”

The Pew Research Center estimates that over 11 million illegal migrants reside in the United States. During his first term, Trump deported 1.5 million but now aims to drastically expand these efforts.

Critics have raised concerns about the legality and humanitarian impact of such a move, while Trump insists it is necessary for national security and border enforcement. The decision has sparked intense debate across the political spectrum.
