Retired U.S. Air Force Brig. Gen. Blaine Holt told Newsmax on Monday that mass deportations would likely consist of a full government effort pulling from both the military and local police.

There will be incentive programs. There will be all kinds of ways to say, ‘Hey, look, do you want to expunge your record and reset yourself and get back and try to do it the legal way? That’s a better way than us shackling you up and repatriating you forcibly.'”
