President-elect Donald Trump plans to prioritize deporting hundreds of thousands of people in his first 100 days in office, focusing on those with criminal convictions and final removal orders. He is expected to end parole for people from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua, and Venezuela and undo a policy that limited deportations for non-threatening individuals. Trump’s team is preparing executive actions to withstand legal challenges and has a transformed judiciary and conservative Supreme Court on their side. However, logistical challenges such as expanding detention capacity and cutting through immigration court backlogs may hinder the speed at which Trump can carry out his immigration agenda. His team includes inexperienced individuals and those with a history of anti-immigration stances. Trump also plans to end humanitarian parole and restrict Temporary Protected Status for certain countries, revoke deportation guidance, and deactivate a mobile app for asylum seekers. He may also increase pressure on countries to repatriate unwanted migrants by threatening to restrict visas.
