CNN: Trump Tees Up Aggressive Immigration Push In First Hours Of Administration

Details of the plan and its executors have become known.

Donald Trump’s team is finalizing an aggressive slate of immigration executive orders that are expected to be released only hours after the president-elect is sworn in.

This has been reported by CNN.

According to two sources familiar with the discussions, the package of actions amounts to a dramatic shift in immigration policy that will affect immigrants already residing in the United States and migrants seeking asylum at the US-Mexico border. This will kick off an immigration crackdown that will have implications for people nationwide

The plan includes:

US Immigration and Customs Enforcement checks in major metropolitan areas;

sending additional Pentagon resources to the US southern border;

imposing additional restrictions on entry into the United States;

reversing Biden-era policies.

“You’ll see removal planes, reports of arrests occurring, ICE action in sanctuary jurisdictions,” one source told CNN, referring to the incoming administration’s deportation plans. “As you get into 30 days and first 100 days, that’s where you’ll see a consistent drumbeat.”

Sources maintain that the incoming administration will, at least initially, be focused on undocumented immigrants with criminal backgrounds who are eligible for removal in major metropolitan areas, like Washington, DC, Denver, and Chicago. But others who are encountered over the course of those operations could also be taken into custody, according to a source.

The main players on Trump’s key agenda item include:

South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem, whose confirmation hearing is slated for Friday, as homeland security secretary;

Tom Homan as border czar;

Stephen Miller, incoming deputy chief of staff for policy and homeland security adviser.

CNN sums up that Trump will be inheriting a relatively quiet US southern border, but his team is teeing up actions to double down on border security and roll out policies that would overhaul the US immigration system.
