Trump to Declare National Emergency for Military-Led Mass Deportations

President-elect Donald Trump confirmed plans to declare a national emergency to facilitate mass deportations of undocumented migrants using military resources. Trump has appointed immigration hard-liners to key positions, including Kristi Noem as Homeland Security Secretary and Tom Homan as "border czar." The plan, which could involve the National Guard and troops from overseas, aims to deport criminals and national security threats first. Experts warn of significant economic impacts, including labor shortages and loss of tax revenue, particularly in agriculture.
