Former President Donald Trump vowed to use the National Guard or other military troops to deport millions of illegal migrants if he's elected to another term in the White House.
The former policy required asylum seekers to remain in Mexico until their court dates, and the latter allowed border officials to expel migrants for health concerns. The most significant initiative, though, would be the mass deportation of more than 11 million undocumented migrants — a plan for which Trump mostly would rely on the National Guard to conduct.Asked whether he would override the Posse Comitatus Act, which prohibits the use of military force on civilians, Trump says the law wouldn't apply in this case.Trump added local police also would be asked to help, and refusal to do so would be denied funding.
