President-elect Donald Trump's new border czar Tom Homan gave new details to the New York Post on Tuesday about how mass deportations will work, including how the military will be used.

Liberals had been speculating wildly that soldiers would be arresting migrants on the streets, but Homan said that would not be the case.

Instead, military members would be used for non-enforcement activities like transportation and building infrastructure.

“They certainly can handle transportation, whether that’s ground transportation or air transportation… and certainly help building infrastructure,” he told The Post.

An administrative role

More ICE agents would be going into the field under Trump, leaving holes in the administrative work that military personnel could fill.

“The more non-enforcement work [the Department of Defense] can do, releases more enforcement officers on the street to look for the bad guys,” Homan said.

Trump announced Monday that he would declare a national emergency because of current immigration numbers, and would use "military assets" to assist in deportations.

He did so by commenting "TRUE!" on a Truth Social post by Judicial Watch's Tom Fitton that speculated he would do so.

"Good News"

“GOOD NEWS: Reports are the incoming @RealDonaldTrump administration prepared to declare a national emergency and will use military assets to reverse the Biden invasion through a mass deportation program,” Fitton wrote.

ICE rank and file are reportedly ready to be “catching criminals that Biden let roam freely in the country for the last four years without any consequences,” according to a source there.

The 1878 Posse Comitatus Act says that the military cannot take on the duties of domestic law enforcement, such as making arrests, but they are allowed to help in other ways.

“When I worked with the National Guard, we would do things with the FBI, ATF or DEA. We would be doing a large bust and we would provide overwatch from helicopters, we would provide drone support, we would do all of those things,” Davis Younts, a retired Air Force lieutenant colonel and military defense attorney, told The Post.

In sanctuary cities, local law enforcement are not allowed to help ICE or report any illegal immigrants that may be in their jurisdiction, which can make it hard for ICE to find the ones they want to deport. As a result, Homan said, more illegal immigrants may end up getting arrested than even ICE intends.

“I just can’t believe any mayor or governor who’s out they’re saying they’re gonna roadblock us would not want public safety threats out of their communities,” Homan said.
