On the 18th (local time), President-elect Trump posted on social media a message to the conservative legal organization Judicial Watch.
Tom Fitton, who heads the Democratic Party Watch, said the Trump administration is "putting its mass deportation plan in place."
He commented on the post, "I will declare a national emergency through my program and mobilize the military," saying, "TRUE!!!"
A national emergency can be declared at the discretion of the President and can redirect Congressional funds for other purposes.
During his first term, Trump declared a national emergency to free up more money for the construction of a barrier between Mexico and the United States.
Stephen Miller, Trump's immigration policy adviser and White House deputy chief of staff, said in an interview with the New York Times in November 2023 that he plans to become the next White House deputy chief of staff.
Miller has also threatened to use public health emergency powers to limit asylum hearings.
He also mentioned how he plans to use it.
