Trump’s First Day: Tougher Immigration Measures and Border Wall Restart

WASHINGTON, Nov 12 (Reuters) — On his first day in office, President-elect Donald Trump is set to sign a series of executive orders aimed at tightening immigration laws. Sources say the plans include:

• More Arrest Powers for Immigration Officers: Federal officers will get more authority to arrest people without criminal records, expanding deportation efforts.
• More Troops at the Border: Trump plans to send additional U.S. troops to the southern border to help enforce immigration laws.
• Restarting the Border Wall: Trump will push to resume construction of the border wall along the U.S.-Mexico border, a key promise from his campaign.

These actions would reverse many of President Joe Biden’s immigration policies, which have been more lenient toward undocumented immigrants. Trump’s plan is expected to spark debate and legal challenges as the new administration focuses on stricter border control.

Stay tuned for updates as these changes take effect.
