President-elect Donald Trump said he would use military personnel to help with mass deportation of undocumented migrants.

Border Czar Thomas Homan said troops would be a "force multiplier" in deportations.

Homan 's description was similar to the previous active-duty deployment in 2018 and 2019 that supported U.S. Customs and Border Protection .

The National Emergencies Act allows the military to undertake new military construction projects not specified by Congress .

The Pentagon was able to use $6.1 billion in funding for the wall including $3.6 billion in funds reallocated from other projects.

Declaring a national emergency is not a rare occurrence and there were about 30 emergencies already in effect by previous administrations.
