Afghan Voice Agency (AVA): "Donald Trump", the president-elect of the United States, announced that he has a plan to deport illegal immigrants on a large scale, based on which he will declare a national emergency and use military equipment.
In the days of the US presidential election, in which Trump won and defeated Democratic candidate Kamala Harris, mass deportation of immigrants had become one of the key issues of Trump's campaign. During the first term of his presidency from 2016 to 2020, he had declared a state of emergency so that he could spend the budget of the US Department of Defense to build a wall on the border between Mexico and the US.
According to the BBC, deportation of immigrants by the American authorities is not new. During the presidency of the current US President Joe Biden, more than 1.5 million people were deported, and in addition, millions of people were also turned away during the Corona epidemic when trying to enter the US borders. During the eight-year government of "Barack Obama", about three million people were deported from the border areas of the United States, most of whom were single Mexican men.
However, the programs that Trump has promised to implement are broader and more aggressive and are not limited to border areas. Authorities are reportedly considering using the US National Guard and military aircraft to detain and eventually deport illegal immigrants.
With Trump's victory, millions of immigrants across America are worried and don't know whether Trump's plans to deport immigrants will include their situation or not. The results of the US presidential election will be confirmed by Congress on January 6, and the official inauguration of Donald Trump will be held on January 20.
