President-elect Donald Trump’s incoming national security adviser Mike Waltz outlined the administration’s immediate actions related to immigration. Waltz emphasized the administration's readiness to swiftly address the issue of undocumented immigrants in the United States.
Waltz detailed several steps that the administration plans to take, including increased enforcement measures by immigration authorities and a more robust Border Patrol presence to secure the border. Additionally, the administration aims to reinstate a 'Remain in Mexico' policy for asylum-seekers and collaborate with key partners to facilitate deportations.
Furthermore, the administration intends to escalate Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) actions, starting with the removal of serious criminal offenders from cities. This approach aligns with Trump’s campaign promises and reflects a significant shift in immigration policy.
Immigration has been a central theme in Trump’s political platform, and his team is finalizing a series of executive actions that will be unveiled shortly after the president-elect's inauguration. These actions are poised to impact both existing immigrants in the U.S. and individuals seeking asylum at the U.S.-Mexico border.
