US President-elect Donald Trump has confirmed he is prepared to declare a national state of emergency as part of a mass deportation of migrants.
Writing on his Truth Social platform, he responded to reports that he was considering the use of military assets.
Trump has pledged to deport what he calls “foreign criminals” who have entered the US illegally.
He made immigration a core issue in his successful bid for the White House.
Al Jazeera’s Phil Lavelle has more from West Palm Beach in Florida.

deport all filipino illegal.
You get what you vote for ~
Make sure you don’t forget the Ukrainians and Eastern Europeans while yall at it
Don’t worry, we won’t
Mass deportations now !
UK needs that
Trump have balls, UK men don’t have balls.
Yeah, let’s start with you.
Like it or not, I believe what Trump is doing is beneficial for the United States. Many of the individuals claiming to be refugees are not genuine but rather orchestrated invaders backed by authoritarian regimes like China, Russia, and Venezuela, with the aim of destabilising the U.S. economy for their own benefit.
If you want to come to the USA, do it the right way. Don’t use illegal means it’s a simple and clear message. No country in the world would allow 11 million illegal migrants to remain within its borders unchecked. The USA has been extremely generous in tolerating this for so long, largely due to the Democratic Party’s lenient and overly relaxed policies. These policies are not only weakening the country but also making it easier for adversaries like China and Russia to exploit the situation. This is why those nations prefer dealing with Democrats—they see them as ineffective and easy to manipulate.
We need to wake up to the reality that some of these so-called refugees include criminals who, once allowed in, may create ghettos and engage in activities like drug trafficking for those who sent them to U.S. borders. These same countries—China and Russia—are also funding and sponsoring green and climate movements in Europe and other Western nations, pressuring their governments on climate change. The goal? To weaken and bankrupt the West while benefiting themselves.
Ironically, these two countries are among the world’s worst climate offenders, contributing massively to pollution without facing accountability. Do you ever hear about climate activism or Green Party movements in China or Russia? Absolutely not—activists in those countries would end up in prison. But they’re perfectly fine with funding disruptions in the West, knowing it serves their interests.
We must think critically and recognise these tactics, as they pose long-term consequences for our children and future generations. Allowing authoritarian governments to exploit our democratic systems and policies is a mistake we cannot afford to keep making.
Prosecute government officials protecting illegal immigrants!
Dearborn here we come. Prepare the gallows.
Good , all white crackas out of north america, it belongs to the red, black and brown.
Those are invaders and are there to rape economy with cheap labour ” kick them out👊 and remind them to carry their anticrist agenda.
Let’s hope he gets all the rabid pro- Hamas idiots out too!
when someone entered illegally they must leave the country immediately…what were they told until now ? 🤣
Many of them didn’t enter illegally though. Thats what alot of you people dont understand.
@@kentuckyfried9499 i was talking about illegals…
Google –
“Allah allah tareef teri allah allah”😂
Everybody is an immigrant depends on how far back you want to go! Native Americans should have done that
So beautiful. Thank you Mr. President. ❤
Wtf .yr thanking a jerk .who did nothing when he was in the WH before. Now he lies like crazy and u believe him. Wtf
Awesome.
We need this in Malaysia!
@@ybncareyyy Yes, we definitely do
Good decision
No one knows what to do and how to do,what a complete mess
@@navjeetkaur2829 quite easy. Kick them out!
Just prepare your backpack or hide in Serbia
Omg USA here we go Trump is racist and get military to do his dirty deeds
🤡 😅
Eventually, he will need to address the genocide he’s inherited, or Iran will.
Israel put a stop to the genocide over a year ago, kid
We need a Trump in South Africa, please!! Our country is in the gutter!
He wont do that. Americans need “illegals” who are taking up millions of low paid jobs that the “legals” dont want. I cant wait until Trump actually act on this. They will reopen the border in just few weeks after realising they have shoot themselves in the foot 😂😂😂
Does that include so called “palestinian” refugees?
you wish
Do not believe in Trump . Yaya Sinwar is Al Jazeera’s best friend .
Get your backpacks ready immigrants.
Not immigrants illegal migration
76 million American voters agree 👍💯
do you pseudo americans even understand what state of emergency means ?
I think we should first start with all these Muslim pro Hamas incels on our streets then move on to criminal gangs then last Mexicans
It’s way more than that
@VjidfyjgtXhiifdhh No it’s not
@@brettrogers4200 yes it was Democrats trying to cheat but thank God Elon musk was behind the counter cheating lol
This policy will be a f— up
Yes you do that Mr Trump,these migrant have no respect for anyone let alone the country who welcome them to help them
Deport em all!!!
How is that threaten? What exactly happened to news media? Come in illegally = No right to stay in the country. Deportation is warranted. These illegal immigrants normally bring in a lot of social problems.
Trump best president
👍
Malaysia should do the same!
Trump policy should not hamper Documented legal Migrants as all American are actually migrant in one place. Who are actual citizens from the ancient tribe. It is hard to find. So , deport illegal and make easier policy for legal migrant.
stop the migrant crisis then stop interfering and creating war in other countries. Hypocrisy at its highest level. Change of foreign policy needed!
Like the war in Ukraine? Sudan?
Don’t tell us what to do with our country.
@@JanetTrout-x7z yes especially Ukraine…
Thats on america
Israel and its dual citizens must be stopped.
@Bailey-cx7zz Just like you shouldn’t tell other countries what to do either, tut tut!
Americans and legal residents are truly looking forward to this. Removing those who don’t belong here quickly ends the Democrat made “housing crisis.”
Bring back the bill of muslim bans , they should free their palestine is qatar or saudi arabia
Migrates are the most hardworking,the least paid,the most mistreated and misused and United states wants to blames them for their incompetent.AMERICA HAS A LEADERSHIP PROBLEM NOT IMMIGRANT PROBLEM
2024 – The “No Funding for Sanctuary Cities Act” is being introduced by Rep. August Pfluger, R-Texas, and would amend federal law so that any jurisdiction that blocks federal immigration enforcement would be ineligible for a range of federal law enforcement grants and any other grant administered by the Department of Homeland Security or Department of Justice.
It would also require the DHS secretary to report to Congress how many states and localities are not complying with federal immigration enforcement. It says that any funds that are withdrawn from sanctuary jurisdictions can be diverted to those that are in compliance.
*IF YOU ARE HERE ILLEGALLY – JUST GO HOME NOW – SAVE THE HASSLE*
Trump will follow the law for Legalizing Immigrants – this should read – The Illegal aliens allowed in the US by the DEMS without regard to our laws face deportation under President-elect Trump’s Administration
NOW all the Illegals will run to all the Sanctuary states and strain their Resources, Any American Citizen who helps them should be charged harboring a fugitive
If ya Find an Illegal be a Patriot and turn them into ICE.
Africans in the US plus Philip Emagwali and others at his level should come back to Africa. The African governments must have the occupation policies and support and compensation systems to them. Finances must be made available in order to tap this high level of expertise.
We FINALLY have a LEADER…!
What did yr leader do before when he was in office .Nothing. did u forget .now u praise him. Wtf
@@karencourt5684 He will do this time … MAGA
@ranveergodara6221 no he won’t. He had 4 yrs .before. he did nothing but F. Things up. Now u think he will. Good luck u will need it
You lie, you are not American citizen
Take the sanctions off those countries, those migrants won’t come to the usa.
How did white americans came to america anyways? By plane? Legally?
Canada needs to follow this example
@@ashtynplante7276 that’s not possible in USA they came from Border. And in Canada all immigrants have legal Work permits. So not even ur PM is capable enough to deport. And no one come to Canada illegally it’s very easy to come legally there.
@@ashtynplante7276 Canada is poor country, Immigrants are suffering here
Hail Trump 🎉🎉 🎉
Next ban all Indians.
State of emergency is typical what dictators would do
Im excited for all the white Americans to start doing the 16 hr days of hard labour for 5$ an hour when the immigrants get kicked out. Obviously they wont so the price of everything will go up 2-3x when he kicks out all the immigrants. Hope you dumb Muricans anjoy that.
Way to go Trump
Yes we approved 💪
👨🏿🏫: The land robbers, and fugitive vagabonds of the earth are getting ready to deport illegal criminals, lol.
… to deport “ILLEGAL” migrants. Why the misleading title ???
Go Trumpie brilliant!
Except for the red Indians, everyone else is an immigrant in america.Trump himself should leave America
Simple, pay them or give them the option to leave and come back first. First ones out, first ones back, and if you don’t want to come back we give you a plane ticket and $5000. Bam you will have millions gone first year for almost nothing. If you don’t leave in the first 4 years and we find you, you get deported never allowed back.
U.S. addictions to drugs and guns is the problem, not a person who actually wants to work and not be fed by government.
More than 2 billion people want to work in usa , how much can you accommodate???
These petite the people responsible for the drugs and the violence.
Free for all is over, time to get out, I’m gonna laugh when they start hauling them back to wence they came ….😄😄😄
Ook.. that is what he promised… Do it
Trump should be first deported to Moscow.
Cant wait to see that animlas been deported
ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS, not immigrants
Nope. He’s said he’s going after the legal ones too
@@brettrogers4200 good let’s round them all up and send them back home
Wrong. Illegal aliens
@@brettrogers4200 must be mentally retarded
@@brettrogers4200Nope. He can try but the courts will not allow
Should we start preparing for our brothers who left and never returned in the village 😮😮
🤫
Yes yes go ahead Trump go Ahead clean up those junks in your country 😂 First deport all those who chant from the river to the sea and those who chant Death to America

We don’t want them back we need that space for Americans. No more immigrants period
Make them legal citizens
They will be ineligible to apply forever.
Alhamdullilah
Wait until MAGA supporters realize that these people pump billions into the economy through taxes, work the jobs Americans think they’re too good for, and are your friends, neighbours, classmates, church friends, and more.
Very few are criminals.
Not to mention, this won’t cost 10s of billions, it will cost 100s of billions.
Good luck with your recession as you pay off your racist deficit.
Africa need to follow this example,
No foreign intervation in Africa,
all stolen resources should returned to Africa.
Let make America red indians and natives again😅
@@Gaza2023-v5i They migrated from Asia thousands of years ago. Human beings aren’t indigenous to the Americas.
Alot of the people in the comments dont understand how complex the immigration system is. Many of these people didnt come here illegally. Many came here. Legally and have lived here for decades. This would destroy rhe social fabric and the economy of this country and alot of people dont realize it.
Start with michigan Arabs who voted for you plz… America for Americans
Adios!
This is Fantastic 🙏🏼
Good
The world has gone crazy
Trump is a nut
European Americans 🇪🇺
i fkn hope so !
Many years ago I worked with an Iranian. He had to put $5,000 in escrow to pay for his own deportation if necessary. He was a good hard working man here LEGALLY.
💃💉🕳️🔥📺⛽👀🇺🇸”Hey Trump, Ask Kevin gates to get TO REAL while riding in a Ambulance around WHouma, Louisiana after picking someone up from a bike that someone feels like they always have to mess with to cause a wreck.” Kevin’s NOT REAL.. In WHouma Louisiana…💉🕳️💃🔥📺⛽👀🇺🇸
