President-elect Donald Trump has taken steps to fulfill his pledge to deport undocumented immigrants on a massive scale by naming top officials to lead the effort: Stephen Miller and Tom Homan.
Miller — who helped shape policies during Trump’s first administration, including the ban on travel from many Muslim-majority countries and family separations at the border — is expected to become a deputy chief of staff.
Tom Homan, a former acting head of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, will serve as “border czar,” in charge of border security and deportations.
On today’s “Post Reports,” reporter Nick Miroff walks host Elahe Izadi through what those picks could mean for the incoming administration’s approach to immigration enforcement and why they might have an easier time this term to turn Trump’s rhetoric into reality. We also hear from an immigration lawyer and advocate about how he’s advising his clients to prepare for another Trump presidency.
