President-elect Donald Trump is planning to enforce several executive actions on his first day back in the White House to boost immigration enforcement and roll back signature legal entry programs issued by the outgoing administration of President Joe Biden.
Trump has earlier appointed Tom Homan as "border czar." Homan, who served as acting director of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) during Trump's first term, has more than four decades of experience working in immigration agencies and is expected to bring a deep understanding of the U.S. immigration system.
Three sources familiar with the matter revealed that Trump is planning to end Biden's humanitarian programs that allowed hundreds of thousands of migrants to enter the U.S. legally in recent years.

Trump's early executive actions would mark the beginning of his immigration agenda, which includes a promise to deport record numbers of illegals immigrants in America.
According to estimates from the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), there were 11 million immigrants without legal status in 2022, a figure that has almost certainly increased since then, with many of them being received by sanctuary cities like Chicago, Denver and New York, which are currently struggling to continue housing and aiding them.
Trump's executive actions on Day 1 will focus on illegal immigrants
Sources also claimed that one of Trump's first executive actions involves "arresting and detaining immigrants" who are in the country illegally.
Trump also plans to eliminate the Biden administration guidance that prioritized those with serious criminal records for deportation and limited enforcement against illegals without criminal histories.
Instead, the Trump order would prioritize deportations of those charged with felonies and individuals who have exhausted their legal avenues to remain but would not restrict officers from detaining other potentially deportable immigrants.
According to ICE, an estimated 1.4 million illegals in America have final deportation orders, a group that will be the first target of the incoming Trump administration. International students who were vocal about their opposition to Israel and have violated the terms of their student visas could also be listed as a priority group for deportation.
According to one of the sources, ICE could use military planes in deportations and request assistance from other government agencies to transport deportees. "All options are on the table," the source said.
The sources also revealed that another order would focus on border security. They claimed that Trump has plans to deploy National Guard troops to the border and declare illegal immigration a national emergency to unlock funds for border wall construction.
The wall construction in Arizona, where Democratic Gov. Katie Hobbs vehemently opposed Republican enforcement efforts, could also be a priority.
The sources also suggested that Trump intends to end Biden’s temporary humanitarian "parole" programs, which have allowed hundreds of thousands of migrants to enter legally and receive work permits.
Trump is due to meet with Mexican officials to discuss the reinstatement of his "Remain in Mexico" program, which required non-Mexican asylum seekers to stay in Mexico while their U.S. cases were being decided.
Biden criticized the program for being "inhumane" and tried to end it on his first day in office, but faced legal challenges. In 2022, the Supreme Court allowed him to proceed with his plans to end the program.
