0:55Now PlayingDefense Secretary Pete Hegseth arrived at the Pentagon Monday vowing to support President Donald Trump’s mass deportations, saying military involvement is “something the Defense Department absolutely will continue to do.” #trump #hegseth #immigration #deportes #politics #worldnews
“Whatever is needed at the border will be provided,” Hegseth told reporters gathered for the traditional ceremonial welcome to a new Pentagon chief.“This is a shift. This is not the way business has been done in the past.”
Since Trump’s inauguration last week, the Pentagon has sent 1,500 troops to the southwest border to help deport migrants and build barriers, and military aircraft are being used for deportation flights. It reflects a rejection of past concerns about the need and legality of using the military for such purposes inside the US.
Hegseth, a combat veteran and former Fox News commentator, was confirmed by the Senate 51—50 late Friday, with Vice President JD Vance casting the tie-breaking vote. Democrats and a handful of Republicans had raised questions about his lack of high-level experience and allegations, which he denied, of sexual misconduct, excessive drinking and financial mismanagement.
