WASHINGTON — President-elect Donald J. Trump confirmed today that he intends to declare a national emergency and use the U.S. military to implement his plans for mass deportations of undocumented immigrants.
The following is a statement from Anthony D. Romero, executive director of the ÀÏ°ÄÃÅ¿ª½±½á¹û:
“We are crystal clear that the next Trump administration will do everything in its power to make mass deportation raids a reality.

“President-elect Trump will soon have the full power of the U.S. government machinery at his disposal to target and displace place immigrants at a scale our nation has never experienced."
