President-elect Donald Trump intends to declare a national emergency over immigration and use the military as part of his plans for mass deportations of undocumented immigrants, according to a social media post he made on Monday.

It’s going to be wild & awful to watch. Especially if they actually build the concentration camps that I’ve read of companies building and if they do use them for forced labor and not just imprisoning prior to deportation.
i'm making a series of videos about the fall of america from a dystopian view, a caricature... this is the second episode https://youtu.be/s417jtDbT6Y hope it will never comes true...
What happens when he calls out the National Guard in California?
Is the Guard then state or federal?
Can the president federalize the state militia(NG) against it's state when the governor refuses to allow the deportations?
Would other National Guard come to CA & fight CA National Guard?
Terms to describe the situation on the border you would hear from left and right leaning media outlets included border crisis, immigration crisis and humanitarian crisis. Sounds like a national emergency to me.
Remember - first undocumented immigrants in deportations will be those w/ criminal records. Liberals shouldn’t bash this writ large—take incidents case by case. Opposing deporting criminals risks helping Trump gain support for non-criminal deportations by painting our opposition as being pro-crime.
Sweetheart, if you’re paying attention they’ve said over and over they know where the folks they are targeting live. They have their addresses. The whole point of being undocumented and illegal is that the government doesn’t know where you are. They will be targeting TPV holders, migrants.
Let Trump and his wannabe fascists blow themselves up. It's not time to panic; it's time to prepare. They don't have the time or the power to overthrow US democracy. They have maybe 20 months to mess things up and lose Congress, and it's all downhill from there.
Trump will deport illegal immigrants, then remove minimum wage, so that the predatory companies that have used illegal immigrants for cheap labor can replace their cheap labor with citizens forced to work for slave wages.
In 12 states (Alabama, Delaware, Illinois, Kansas, Missouri, Nebraska, New Hampshire, New York, North Dakota, Rhode Island, Utah, Wisconsin), police "may demand" identifying information. Anyone know if they require just cause? Or can they randomly stop and demand ID?
This will be how civil war 2.0 starts. Just like last time, we'll have to hand these morons their heads. Seems they need a "refresher" as to why a rogue, unconstitutional "government" (which we are duty-bound by the Constitution to smash) isn't a good idea.

Call me crazy, but wasn't there another country in the 1930s that used its military to try and get rid of an entire group of people?
Seems like I read something about that once upon a time 🤔
The orange derp couldn't even build a wall in 4 years. I highly doubt his junk drawer of doorknobs picks will get a single thing accomplished in the next 4
Yes, yes. He stated this in one of his hateful CAMPAIGNS. I already know about his FEAR MONGERING. And let’s see if the MILITARY will obey his orders. Remember he’s still a felon……the Military doesn’t have to take his orders. ESPECIALLY if it’s to kill Migrants. He asked for that too. The man is👺👹👀💯
Curious where he thinks he's going to build the necessary concentration camps for this. What state/county is going to want to construct the facilities that this will require?
And is the military going to have the resources to discern which brown-skinned Spanish speakers are actually citizens?
There are many problems with mass deportations (aside from the obvious, moral ones), but manpower is probably the easiest to solve. This is nothing but chest-thumping about something that he appears not actually to understand. Shocker.
As w/all of us, Trump can 'declare' whatever he wants. The operative legal effect of such declarations (which will be decided by courts) is quite another matter.
I can 'declare' myself the King of England or the starting center for the Celtics, but ...
A bit of a tangent curiosity: have you heard about the Republic of Molossia or the Kingdom of Talossa? Both were supposed to sit within the current borders of the US territory.
Hey Times, find out if “national emergency” is Drumpf speak for martial law and then the suspending of all future elections while Drumpf is still breathing.
This will be tied up in the Courts for months…if not years…and
he knows this. Just a deflection from all the other shit he has planned….the stuff where he and his friends will make money.And the media will be played, as always…willfully
Yeah, I can't wait to be driving to the store and seeing a nice family walking down the street then watching a van pull over, a couple guys jump out and attack the father, grab the kids. God bless fucking America
It is a serious National Security Problem. Just hope the Dolt running the operation has an intelligent assistant to think for him. He is a blunt instrument.
And he thinks they won’t fight back. He’s talking about using the military on people with nothing left to this world other than the hope for a better future, in which he’s crushing and stealing from them. Scumbag move.
it has been done before. Ask @georgetakei.bsky.social and his experience being interred in detention camps. Those were US citizens. Japanese Americans in the armed forces served our country while their parents were interred in camps. #shameful
all talk. first, how many resources at tax payers expense is Mr Orange able to allocate & implement. if ppl read actual news-its not an easy task nor realistic
Did anyone have any doubt of what a big turd of a human Donald Trump is? This is the man whose whole life has been one big red flag. Nasty and rotten to the core.
He does not understand the practicalities and immense cost of what he is proposing. Prediction: a small number will be returned and Trump will blame the legal system and federal government for his failure.
More about how the Times didn’t cover Trump as the threat he is. Kamala had to be perfect at all times while Trump could rant about his skin color. Imagine if Kamala had done that
I mean they vote as they do. They won’t change. There needed to be more urgency to get Dems off the couch to vote. Too many people didn’t show up and now fascism is coming to America
An armed purge. Expect a tips hotline to help, maybe rewards? Splitting families, guarded camps with appalling conditions, deaths... No due process. This will be a horror show.
I'd assume that Mexico would have a thing or two to say about all these people back over the border.... I'd assume they'll do the same and send the Americans back?
It doesn’t matter. Good christ. I saw someone compare the “it’s not that bad/ we are a nation of laws” people to Eddard Stark at the end of the first Game of Thrones season:
The article says that they are planning on not issuing Social Security cards to children born in the United States to noncitizens. I suppose the courts would need to step in to force them to issue them.

As of 2022, there were 731k immigrant veterans:

Will these soldiers simply follow orders when asked to show themselves out?
To all who voted for trump, I hope it was worth it.

Every New Generation of Immigrants has energized and Renewed the USA 🇺🇸
Six years ago, I wrote a song protesting Trump’s anti-immigrant politics of hate and division.
I never imagined it would become relevant again.
