Donald Trump is poised to embark on a new term with a robust immigration agenda. A significant aspect of his strategy involves mass deportations of illegal immigrants from day one, as emphasized by his press secretary, Karoline Leavitt. Trump has appointed Tom Homan, a staunch advocate for strict immigration enforcement, as the "Border Czar." Homan, known for his previous tenure as the acting director of ICE, is tasked with overseeing border security and deportation efforts.
The plan includes reviving Trump's previous border policies, with a focus on targeted arrests rather than widespread raids. The administration aims to address security threats first, promising humane deportations without military involvement. Trump's commitment to this cause is evident in his willingness to allocate whatever resources necessary.
Beyond immigration, Trump's agenda includes negotiating geopolitical tensions and reinstating sanctions on Iran. He also plans to advocate for an "all-of-the-above energy approach" to reduce living costs and combat inflation. Meanwhile, outgoing President Joe Biden is focusing on solidifying his policies, particularly in renewable energy incentives and judicial appointments, before the transition of power.
Trump's immigration policy signifies a return to stringent border controls, with Homan playing a key role in its execution.
