Trump has repeatedly vowed to deploy the National Guard to enact his mass deportation policy, called for potentially deploying the military to work with ICE as part of his crackdown and pledged to enlist federal and state authorities to carry out mass removals.

After his swearing-in on Monday, Trump will declare a national emergency at the U.S.-Mexico border and tap the military to deploy there to build additional barriers. He will also roll back many of President Biden’s actions in an attempt to essentially close off the border from any migrants seeking to make asylum claims.

WASHINGTON − President Donald Trump on Monday declared a national border emergency and ordered the U.S. armed forces to repel "forms of invasion" at the U.S.-Mexico border, including illegal migration and drug trafficking.
