An expert asserts that Trump's declaration of a national emergency at the border will not result in the militarization of the country.

One expert claims that the fears about President-elect Trump's plan to declare a state of emergency at the border and utilize the military for mass deportation have been exaggerated.

"According to Alfonso Aguilar, the U.S. Office of Citizenship's former chief and director of Hispanic engagement at the American Principles Project, the country will not be militarized and neighborhoods with immigrants will not militarize."

Trump has announced on Truth Social that he is ready to declare a national emergency and will employ military assets to undo the Biden administration's immigration policies through a large-scale deportation program.

President Trump was re-elected by a significant margin, allowing him to fulfill the campaign promises he made, as stated by Karoline Leavitt, a spokesperson for the Trump transition team, in an interview with Planet Chronicle Digital.

There have been rumors of plans to deploy the military on American streets during Trump's campaign, which has caused concern among some critics.

In October, Todd Schulte, president of FWD.us, an immigration advocacy group, informed The Associated Press that the military would be used for mass raids on American families, reminiscent of some of the country's darkest past.

Aguliar maintained that the military should serve as a support role, offering logistics assistance to ICE and CBP.

""Many in the media and the left are spreading fear, but Aguliar clarified that these arrests will be targeted and not involve sweeping neighborhoods," he said."

"I expect the military to assist in a supportive role," he stated. "You'll need to relocate and accommodate those being held."

Trump's use of the military domestically is limited by federal law, so ICE officers are likely to lead deportation efforts with military support. On the border, the military will serve as a show of force and assist Border Patrol officers in their duties.

"According to Aguliar, our historical use of the military involves projecting force to deter individuals from entering, but their primary function is to assist in detecting and moving migrants to buses, providing all necessary logistical support."

Aguliar suggested that ICE may increase its use of workplace raids, and the military's logistical capabilities could be utilized to aid in the detention and transportation of arrested migrants.

Aguliar stated that they will not deploy the military in neighborhoods to detect illegal immigrants.

Several blue state governors have declared their intention to resist Trump's deportation plans, with Massachusetts Gov. Maura Healey pledging to utilize all available resources to safeguard the state's immigrant population and Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker promising to do everything in his power to shield undocumented immigrants.

"Federal law enforcement cannot be prohibited from entering our state to conduct raids or perform any other actions, as Pritzker stated last week. However, it would be challenging for them to spread out across the country due to a lack of manpower within the Department of Homeland Security."
