The incoming Trump administration is gearing up to implement strict border measures, strike down Biden-era policies, and ramp up the detention and deportation of migrants on a large scale. President-elect Donald Trump, who made immigration a central element of his 2024 presidential campaign, is shifting his focus from building a border wall to interior enforcement and the removal of undocumented immigrants already in the United States.
According to sources familiar with the plans, efforts are underway to expand detention facilities to fulfill Trump's mass deportation campaign promise. Additionally, executive actions are being prepared that harken back to his first term in office and could be rolled out soon after Trump takes office.
Some of the key measures being considered include the reinstatement of the 'remain in Mexico' program, which requires migrants to stay in Mexico during their immigration proceedings in the US. There are also plans to revise asylum restrictions, revoke protections for migrants covered by Biden's humanitarian parole programs, and undo ICE's enforcement priorities.
These proposed actions signal a return to the hardline immigration policies that characterized Trump's first term in office. The move is expected to have a significant impact on migrants and immigrants in the United States, drawing criticism from Democrats and immigrant advocates.
As the Trump administration prepares to take office, the stage is set for a renewed focus on immigration enforcement and stricter border controls. The coming months will likely see a series of policy changes that could reshape the landscape for migrants and immigrants in the country.
