Rand Paul Criticizes Trump's Deportation Plan

Senator Rand Paul has criticized President-elect Donald Trump's proposal to use the U.S. military for mass deportations, labeling it 'illegal' and a 'terrible image.' While Paul supports deporting undocumented immigrants, particularly those involved in serious crimes, he insists this should be done through domestic law enforcement agencies rather than the military. Civil rights groups and Democrats have condemned Trump's plans, citing potential harm to U.S. citizen children and economic impacts. Legal challenges from organizations like the ACLU are already in motion, and some state leaders, such as Denver’s mayor, have vowed to resist these efforts. Paul warned that resistance to federal law could result in legal consequences for officials like the Denver mayor. Trump's administration is prepared to declare a national emergency to facilitate this deportation plan.
