President-elect Donald Trump declared he will initiate what he called "the largest deportation operation in American history" immediately upon taking office next month, The New York Post reports.
Speaking at Turning Point Action's AmericaFest conference in Phoenix, Trump outlined his plans for a series of executive orders focused on immigration enforcement. "On my first day back in the Oval Office, I will sign a historic slate of executive orders to close our border to illegal aliens and stop the invasion of our country," Trump told the audience.
The president-elect emphasized that his planned deportation initiative would exceed the scope of similar operations under the Eisenhower administration. He has designated Tom Homan as his border czar to oversee the implementation of these policies. Homan had addressed the conservative conference earlier.
The former president concluded his remarks by reiterating his concerns about Panama's treatment of US interests regarding the Panama Canal, calling it "ridiculous, highly unfair" and promising that "The complete rip off of our country will immediately stop."
