Trump Confirms He Will Declare National Emergency, Use Military Assets For Mass Deportation
From the Daily Caller News Foundation
President-elect Donald Trump confirmed Monday that he will declare a national emergency and use military assets to help him carry out his mass deportation plans.
“True!!!” the president-elect posted on Truth Social early Monday morning in response to a post by Tom Fitton, the president of Judicial Watch. Fitton had posted about reports indicating the incoming Trump administration was “prepared to declare a national emergency and will use military assets to reverse the Biden invasion through a mass deportation program.”
The post on Truth Social was the latest indication that the president-elect and his administration intend to carry out an incredibly hardline immigration enforcement agenda for the next four years.
During the campaign, Trump pledged to continue building the U.S.-Mexico border wall, revive the Remain in Mexico program, hire more border patrol agents and conduct the “largest deportation program in American history.” He has also declared he will end birthright citizenship for those born on U.S. soil to illegal migrant parents.
The incoming administration appears poised to follow through on this hardline agenda given the individuals tapped to lead top immigration enforcement roles. The White House transition team has picked former Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) acting director Tom Homan to serve as border czar, Stephen Miller to serve as deputy chief of staff for policy and South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem to lead the Department of Homeland Security — all of whom are considered very hawkish on border enforcement.
Trump has yet to name who will lead ICE, Customs and Border Protection, or U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, which are three agencies within DHS that play a critical role in the American immigration process
This would not be the first time Trump has used his national emergency authority to help his immigration agenda.
During his first term, the Republican president declared a national emergency in order to secure more funding for wall construction along the U.S.-Mexico border. He later extended this national emergency declaration in order to maintain progress for wall construction efforts.
As in his first term, Trump is likely to face lawsuits against his immigration agenda from immigrant rights groups and other liberal organizations. The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) has filed more than 400 legal actions against Trump and his first administration since 2016, with a large portion targeting immigration directives, and has vowed to go to court again once Trump resumes office.
“Starting on day one, we’re ready to fight for our civil liberties and civil rights in the courts, in Congress, and in our communities,” the organization stated after Trump’s Election Day victory. “We did it during his first term — filing 434 legal actions against Trump while he was in office — and we’ll do it again.”

Laura Ingraham’s Viral Clash With Trump Prompts Her To Tell Real Reasons China Sends Students To US
From the Daily Caller News Foundation
On Monday, Ingraham pressed Trump on why a plan to admit 600,000 Chinese nationals into U.S. universities qualifies as a “pro-MAGA” move, challenging him directly after he defended the influx as vital to maintaining Washington’s relationship with Beijing. During a Wednesday broadcast, Ingraham said no modern president has fought harder for American workers than Trump and predicted he will “honor that distinction for the next three years.”
“There was also more consternation over the approach to allowing Chinese and other foreign students to take spots at U.S. universities. A lot of MAGA folks didn’t like that at all. And it’s not, by the way, as some Chinese influencers today said on X, I love this, it’s not that the MAGA folks, certainly not myself, dislike the Chinese people. It’s ridiculous,” Ingraham said.
“What they dislike is the Chinese system that represses Chinese people and uses them as human spies and saboteurs. Remember, when the CCP greenlights hundreds of thousands of their people to come study here, they’re not sending them so they can learn about the wonders of Western civilization, Plato and Socrates, Greek history, become champions of individual freedom and take that message back home. They’re sent here to do whatever is necessary to learn how to push the People’s Republic closer to crushing America, to stealing from us, and for spying on us,” Ingraham added.
Ingraham said that people “understandably perplexed by some of the president’s comments, we cannot forget, what American president has ever been tougher on China than Donald Trump? None.”
Ingraham told viewers that Beijing does not send its students to America to study the Western canon or return home as advocates of individual liberty.

Ingraham warned that China’s rise didn’t happen overnight, saying that decades of inattentive presidents allowed Beijing to gain the strength Trump now must confront.
“Given China’s growing strength that’s been amassed over decades of presidents who were out to lunch, President Trump inherited the most challenging situation,” Ingraham said. “I don’t think it’s an exaggeration to say this, that any president has faced in the last 50 years. He and his entire team are dedicated to countering the Chinese aggression that’s building.”
Washington and Beijing struck a deal in June clearing the way for Chinese nationals to enroll in American universities, a shift that followed the administration’s June 5 move blocking Harvard from bringing in additional international students. Officials justified the restriction by pointing to security vulnerabilities and rising campus turmoil, including allegations of antisemitic activity, as reasons to tighten the flow of foreign applicants.
Trump acknowledged at the time that admitting large numbers of students from a country controlled by the Chinese Communist Party carries real intelligence concerns, saying in June that the government “must be vigilant” about who enters U.S. classrooms. National security experts told the Daily Caller News Foundation that the policy could create openings for the CCP to exploit America’s higher-education system and potentially endanger U.S. interests.

Two security guards were injured in the fracas, with one being taken out in a wheelchair while holding his stomach, Sky News reported.
Past COP summits have seen speakers propose taxes on the meat and dairy industry and “climate finance” initiatives for less-developed countries. The Biden administration signed on to a pledge to start “transitioning away from fossil fuels” at the United Nations COP28 climate summit on Dec. 13, 2023.
Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom of California attended the summit, where he labeled President Donald Trump “an invasive species” and “a wrecking-ball president” who was “doubling down on stupid.” Newsom also announced an agreement between California and Nigeria, which was declared a “country of particular concern” due to persecution of Christians.
