Donald Trump plans to begin deporting millions of people on his first day in office. Karoline Leavitt, a spokeswoman for his transition team, said that Trump's advisors are preparing many executive orders for him to sign right after his inauguration on January 20.

During his campaign, Trump talked about deporting up to 20 million undocumented immigrants living in the US. Members of his team say he plans to start this process as soon as he becomes president. "On day one he's going to open the largest deportation of illegal immigrants in American history," Leavitt told Fox News. Trump has talked about the 1954 mass deportation of Mexican nationals during the Eisenhower administration, where 1 million people were rounded up by border officials and local law enforcement and sent back to Mexico.

As CNN noted, the president-elect stated that he would have "no problem" deploying the military to apprehend undocumented migrants, but that it would begin with the national guard. "When we talk military, generally speaking, I talk National Guard," he stated. In the past, he has stated that he does not believe that rules prohibiting the Army's use against civilians in the United States would impede these round-ups. Regarding immigration, Trump declared, "These aren't civilians." These individuals are not authorised to be in our nation. This is an attack on our nation.

He also plans to reinstate the "Remain in Mexico" policy, which would require migrants to stay in Mexico while their asylum applications are processed, and they would need to attend a court date in the US to hear the decision. Other actions expected to be approved by Trump on his first day include executive orders aimed at "expediting fracking and drilling" and reversing measures introduced by President Biden, according to Leavitt.

"This man is already working around the clock," she said of Trump. Meanwhile, the future of America's support for Ukraine is uncertain, as Whitehall officials mentioned that they are "considering and planning lots of different scenarios" for Ukraine following Trump's US election victory, as confirmed by a Cabinet minister.

When asked about what the UK might do if the US withdraws under Trump, Chief Secretary to the Treasury Darren Jones told Sky News: "Officials will be considering and planning lots of different scenarios - as they would do under any administration - to make sure that the UK is in the strongest possible position."
