Donald Trump said on Monday that he would use the U.S. military to carry out mass deportations.
The military historically has not conducted immigration enforcement and does not normally conduct law enforcement functions.
The Pentagon was publicly dismissive of Trump ’s pledge to employ the military to deport millions of people.
In 2023 , Trump ’s top immigration policy adviser, Stephen Miller , indicated that military funding would be used to build “vast holding facilities that would function as staging centers” for immigrants awaiting deportations.
A onetime mass deportation operation would cost at least $315 billion , according to a recent analysis.
