President-elect Donald Trump plans to implement significant immigration policy changes within his first 100 days in office. Key initiatives include initiating mass deportations, ending parole programs for individuals from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua, and Venezuela, and reversing policies that limited deportations to those posing public safety or national security threats. To ensure these actions withstand legal challenges, Trump’s team is crafting executive orders designed to navigate the judicial system effectively. The administration’s approach is bolstered by a federal judiciary reshaped during Trump’s first term, including the appointment of over 200 federal judges and three Supreme Court justices. Implementing this agenda presents logistical challenges, such as expanding detention capacity and addressing the extensive immigration court backlog. Trump has appointed South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem as Secretary of Homeland Security, despite her limited experience with the department. Stephen Miller, known for his role in Trump’s first-term immigration policies, will oversee domestic policy from the White House. Thomas Homan, former acting director of Immigration and Customs Enforcement, returns as the administration’s border czar. This leadership team is expected to face intense scrutiny as they work to enact the president-elect’s ambitious immigration reforms.
