President-elect Donald Trump said mass deportations will begin “very quickly” after taking office, one of a number of plans he discussed in a phone interview with NBC News on Saturday. As Trump prepares to be sworn in Monday, the president-elect also told “Meet the Press” moderator Kristen Welker that he will “most likely” delay the US’ impending ban on TikTok, that he will “probably” visit Los Angeles next week to tour wildfire damage, and that he plans to meet with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu “fairly shortly.” The president-elect also pledged to sign a “record-setting number” of executive actions on his first day in office. When asked whether he will sign “more than 100” actions, Trump replied the number will be “at least in that category.” Trump said his administration is planning on executing mass deportations on undocumented immigrants “very quickly” after he takes office, reiterating his desire to “get the criminals out of our country.” “It’ll begin very early, very quickly,” he told NBC News. “I can’t say which cities because things are evolving.” “We have to get the criminals out of our country,” he added.
