BURLINGTON, Vt. (WCAX) – The president’s deportation plan calls for using military assets but the commander of the Vermont National Guard says he has not received any orders yet.
Major General Greg Knight tells WCAX that he’s not been contacted by the Trump administration, the National Guard Bureau, or the Defense Department.
The president signed a slew of executive orders Monday related to immigration policy. Some of them revive priorities from his first administration, including forcing asylum-seekers to wait in Mexico and finishing the border wall. Others launched sweeping new strategies, like an effort to end automatic citizenship for anyone born in America and ending the use of a Biden-era app used by nearly a million migrants to enter America.
