Trump's Immigration Agenda Set to Unfold on Day One

President-elect Donald Trump is planning a series of executive actions to strengthen immigration enforcement, reverse President Biden’s entry programs, and prioritize deportations. These moves, including border wall construction and increased deportations, highlight his commitment to aggressive immigration policies, despite expected opposition from Democrats and advocacy groups.

President-elect Donald Trump is gearing up to implement a series of executive actions as soon as he steps into the Oval Office, sources familiar with the matter have revealed. Key among these are ramping up immigration enforcement and dismantling President Joe Biden's pivotal entry programs.

The planned executive actions aim to give federal immigration officers increased authority to arrest individuals without criminal records, increase troop presence at the U.S.-Mexico border, and recommence building the border wall, sources informed. Furthermore, Trump's agenda includes ending Biden's humanitarian programs that have facilitated legal entry for hundreds of thousands of migrants in recent times.

One significant action expected on Trump's first day is an executive order focused on 'interior enforcement,' targeting immigrants residing in the U.S. illegally. The order would prioritize deportations for those with felony charges or who have exhausted legal means to stay, yet allow officers to detain other deportable immigrants. Additional measures include sending National Guard troops to the border and declaring illegal immigration a national emergency to unlock funds for the border wall.
