Trump to declare “national emergency,” and deploy both National Guard and overseas military units
By 
It’s at times like these that I’m especially grateful for the post-election statesmanship of Joe Biden, Barack Obama, Bill Clinton, and other prominent Democrats, who have made it clear that all that talk about authoritarianism and fascism was just some good-natured ribbing — political locker room talk if you will — and that it’s now time to put the divisiveness of the campaign behind us.
President-elect Donald Trump on Monday confirmed he would declare a national emergency to carry out his campaign promise of mass deportations of migrants living in the U.S. without legal permission.
Overnight, Trump responded to a social media post from Judicial Watch’s Tom Fitton, who said earlier this month there are reports the incoming administration is preparing such a declaration and to use “military assets” to deport the migrants.
“TRUE!!!” Trump wrote.
Trump pledged to get started on mass deportations as soon as he enters office.
“On Day 1, I will launch the largest deportation program in American history to get the criminals out,” he said during a rally at Madison Square Garden in the closing days of the presidential race. “I will rescue every city and town that has been invaded and conquered, and we will put these vicious and bloodthirsty criminals in jail, then kick them the hell out of our country as fast as possible.” . . .
Homan previously discussed his vision for mass deportations, saying they would first concentrate on expelling criminals and national security threats. He didn’t rule out deporting families together.
Throughout the campaign, Trump vowed to mobilize the National Guard to assist with the deportation effort. Experts told ABC News such a move would mark a fundamental shift for the military, which does not normally engage with domestic law enforcement issues.
At times, Trump went further, suggesting thousands of troops from overseas be moved to the U.S.-Mexico border.
Along with all the warm wishes from our corporate overlords I mentioned this morning, it’s good to see that everybody who matters in the Democratic party is getting comfortable with the new order.
And in regard to the question of what exactly they can and should do other than this, the answer is pretty much anything other than this.
