The 45th president laid out this plan in an interview with Time magazine's Eric Cortellessa, who claimed that Trump described "the outlines of an imperial presidency that would reshape America and its role in the world." He continued: "To carry out a deportation operation designed to remove more than 11 million people from the country, he would be willing to build migrant detention camps and deploy the U.S. military, both at the border and inland, Trump added."
Further pressing by Cortellessa about the use of military forces for such an operation led Trump to remark: "I don't think I'd have to do that. I think the National Guard would be able to do that. If they weren't able to, then I'd use the military."
"You know, we have a different situation. We have millions of people now that we didn't have two years ago. We're going to be moving them out as soon as we get to it."
Trump voiced out his intent to invoke the Alien Enemies Act of 1798, which allows for summary deportation of any non-citizen from a foreign enemy country. He said he will apply the provision in the first instance against "known or suspected gang members, drug dealers, or cartel members."
Cortellessa then pointed out that the Posse Comitatus Act of 1878 forbids the use of the military against civilians, to which Trump remarked: "Well, these aren't civilians. These are people that aren't legally in our country. We have to do whatever we have to do to stop the problem we have."

"This is an invasion of our country, an invasion like probably no country has ever seen before. They're coming in by the millions – I believe we have 15 million now, and I think you'll have 20 million by the time this ends. That's bigger than [the population of] almost every state."
Following Trump's interview with Time magazine, incumbent President Joe Biden and other leftists went on panic mode. They pointed to the interview as an example of the former president wanting to be a dictator. "We have to beat Trump and his anti-freedom agenda," Biden himself wrote in a post on X.
"This time, we need to take Trump at his word," said David Leopold, former president of the American Immigration Lawyers Association. "When he talks about mass deportation – in boxcars, bus loads, planes or whatever – that's what he's going to do."
But Stephen Miller, Trump's former senior White House policy adviser, said that the plans would push through despite the protests of leftists.
"I want everybody to understand this is going to happen," he told Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk in a podcast interview. "If [former] President Trump is back in the Oval Office in January [2025], this is going to commence immediately."
With Trump and his team setting their sights on deporting more than a million people each year, the operation would inevitably require major infrastructure – including new detention camps. Miller said "large-scale staging grounds" would be constructed near the border, probably in Texas.
"You create this efficiency by having these standing facilities where planes are moving off the runway constantly, probably military aircraft," he told Kirk. (Related: Get ready for large-scale military-run concentration camps across America.)
