After winning the U.S. presidential election, Donald Trump is set to take office on January 20. On his first day in the White House, he plans to issue several executive orders focused on tightening immigration controls and reversing policies enacted by President Joe Biden that expanded legal entry options for immigrants.


According to three sources familiar with the plans, Trump’s executive orders would empower federal immigration officials to arrest individuals regardless of criminal history. Additionally, the number of U.S. troops at the Mexican border would be increased, and construction of the border wall would resume. This information was confirmed by sources speaking to Reuters.

In recent years, Joe Biden has implemented humanitarian initiatives allowing millions of immigrants to enter the United States legally, according to anonymous sources. Trump plans to dismantle these initiatives through an executive order. Additionally, he intends to encourage individuals residing in the U.S. with expired visas to voluntarily leave the country.

This year, students at universities across the United States held protests calling for an end to Israel's actions in Gaza, with foreign students among the demonstrators. According to sources, foreign students who have violated visa conditions—including those involved in these protests—may be prioritized for repatriation.
In 2022, the U.S. Department of the Interior estimated that 1.1 million undocumented immigrants were living in the country—a figure that has since grown. Cities like New York, Chicago, and Denver have provided shelter for many of these individuals but are now struggling to offer adequate housing and financial support.

A key promise in Trump’s campaign was to stop the flow of undocumented immigrants, blaming the Biden administration for allowing increased entries. However, immigration detentions in the U.S. reached record levels during Biden’s term, and the rate of illegal border crossings has sharply decreased this year due to tighter border restrictions.
Trump has announced plans to further reduce illegal border crossings into the United States. Last Sunday, he appointed Tom Homan, former acting director of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), to lead efforts against illegal immigration. Homan, known for his strong stance on immigration enforcement, will oversee these efforts.

According to the American Immigration Council, a New York-based nonprofit, over 1 million undocumented immigrants currently in the United States have court orders to leave the country. Homan told Fox News on Monday that he will prioritize the removal of these individuals.
