President-elect Donald Trump will quickly implement executive actions on immigration, energy policy, and federal government operations to check off dozens of campaign policy priorities. Trump and his advisers have pledged to issue more than 100 executive orders or related unilateral actions on his first day in office. Many of these orders will be designed to reverse or eliminate ones implemented by the Biden administration. Stephen Miller, Trump’s incoming deputy chief of staff for policy, previewed some of those actions Sunday afternoon on a call with senior congressional Republicans. Two sources briefed on the call described it as a rundown of what lawmakers should expect, rather than an in-depth policy briefing. Trump’s policy operation is expected to deliver more details to Capitol Hill allies later Sunday, the sources said. They cautioned the scale and pace of the hours leading up to the inauguration have made communication and information fluid over the past several days. Miller, in the briefing with lawmakers, confirmed elements of a long-planned, sweeping suite of immigration actions, including Trump invoking a national emergency at the border as a way to unlock funding from the Defense Department for the administration’s use. Trump will also move to designate a series of drug cartels as foreign terrorist organizations and direct his administration to move to reinstate his first-term Migrant Protection Protocol policy, which is more commonly referred to as “Remain in Mexico.”
