In an interview with the Washington Post, Trump's incoming border czar, Tom Homan, revealed that the new administration plans to revive the practice of detaining migrant families. Undocumented parents will have to choose between leaving their U.S.-born children behind or having them deported. Homan also suggested placing the children of illegal immigrants in halfway homes during mass deportations. The administration's priorities include finding the hundreds of thousands of unaccounted-for migrant children and potentially going after birthright citizenship.

Trump Wants One Big Bill for His Priorities via Budget Reconciliation

politicstrumpborder securityenergybudget reconciliationtax cuts

President-elect Donald Trump wants Congress to pass one sweeping bill full of his priorities through the budget reconciliation process, according to newly reelected Speaker Mike Johnson. Trump's plan includes tax cuts, border security, and energy, and he wants to pass 'one big, beautiful bill.' But the House Freedom Caucus has endorsed a two-step plan, which could stand in the way of Trump's desires. Legislation passed via budget reconciliation would need consensus among House Republicans, and the razor-thin GOP majority in the House means a reconciliation package will also be a major challenge to pass. Trump's plan would put the GOP caucus to the test, as they can only have one GOP defection if all members of the House are present.

Trump Backs Johnson For House Speaker**: Trump has endorsed House Speaker Mike Johnson for re-election, just days before the House will vote for a new leader. Johnson's speakership is in jeopardy after some Republicans expressed frustration with his decision to reach a government funding agreement that had overwhelming Democratic support.

Trump's Border Czar Tom Homan's Controversial Immigration Plans

immigrationdonald trumpborderczarfamilies

President-elect Donald Trump's "border czar" Tom Homan has detailed his immigration plans, which include reintroducing family detention centers. Under this policy, detained migrants would have the choice of leaving their U.S.-born children behind or all being deported together. This policy was halted by the Biden administration in 2021, but Homan argues that it will be the parents' choice whether to let their families be separated. Some children of undocumented immigrants were born in the U.S., making them citizens who can't be deported. The costs and implications of this plan remain to be seen.
