US President-elect Donald Trump confirmed on Monday morning that he's prepared to declare a national emergency that would unlock Pentagon resources to implement his plan to deport migrants at a large scale.
CNN sources say the incoming administration's sweeping immigration plans continue to come into focus, including implementing strict border measures.
Meanwhile, Mr. Trump is preparing for his return to the White House, choosing a growing list of loyalists to play key roles in his administration, some of which have sparked controversy.
The president-elect is expected to be in Palm Beach this week as he continues to build out his Cabinet.
Among the key positions he's yet to fill are secretaries of Treasury and Education.
Sources say Mr. Trump is insistent on seeing his pick for attorney general, former Representative Matt Gaetz, confirmed by the Senate despite scrutiny over allegations of sexual misconduct.
Trump’s team is also facing questions over a 2017 sexual assault allegation against defense secretary pick Pete Hegseth.
