President-elect Trump’s new border czar is giving more clarity on exactly how the military will be used to aid in the mass deportations of illegal immigrants that the incoming administration has promised.
Tom Homan, who served as the acting director of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) during Trump’s first term, debunked frenzied speculation from some liberals that the military could be deployed to arrest people on US streets — saying that service members would be used for “non-enforcement” duties.
“They certainly can handle transportation, whether that’s ground transportation or air transportation… and certainly help building infrastructure,” he told The Post.
He called the military’s role “administrative” — intended to put ICE agents back in the field after up to 70% of personnel were assigned to other duties like helping to process incoming migrants.
“The more non-enforcement work [the Department of Defense] can do, releases more enforcement officers on the street to look for the bad guys,” Homan said.
Trump confirmed Monday that he will declare a “national emergency” and use “military assets” to deport illegal migrants once he returns to the White House.
The president-elect made his plans clear on Truth Social, where he responded “TRUE!!!” to a post from Judicial Watch chief Tom Fitton revealing his hopes for such a plan.
“GOOD NEWS: Reports are the incoming @RealDonaldTrump administration prepared to declare a national emergency and will use military assets to reverse the Biden invasion through a mass deportation program,” Fitton wrote on the social media platform.

This was posted on FR a few days ago:
“Incentivize self deportation by cutting off benefits and offering a deal. Leave within one year and, barring no further crimes committed while you were here, you can reapply to come here legally with no penalty. You still have to get in the back of the line and go through the entire legal process that everyone else does, but your prior illegal entry will not be held against you.
“After one year is up, any one caught here illegally gets one year in jail followed by deportation, and is barred from re-entering for life. No visits to see family. No second chance to come here legally. Nothing.”
