A report from The Guardian (UK):

“Donald Trump’s associates are making plans to deport asylum seekers as they try to figure out how to clear barriers to take severe actions to limit immigration during a potential second term.

Backers of the former president, including former administration officials, are prepping executive orders and policy memos to reduce the number of migrants crossing the US-Mexico border on day one of a second term for Mr Trump, several people involved told The Wall Street Journal. 

Mr Trump himself has said he’s preparing to implement the largest mass deportation in the history of the US. The measures include speeding up asylum hearings to fast-track deportations, removing protections put in place by the Biden administration covering hundreds of thousands of migrants, and pushing other countries to take back their citizens.”
