  • President-elect Donald Trump previewed immigration actions he plans to take in his first days in office and outlined how he expects his Justice Department to handle investigations into his political opponents and the criminal cases against January 6 defendants in his first network television interview since winning November's presidential election.

In his first television interview since the election, former President Donald Trump discussed potential future actions if he were to return to office, including a significant overhaul of immigration policies and addressing the cases related to the January 6 Capitol riot. Trump suggested he would reinstate and expand the travel ban, implement ideological screenings for immigrants, and deport individuals with "jihadist sympathies." He also hinted at issuing pardons for some of those convicted in connection with the January 6 events, although he was vague on specifics, stating that decisions would be made on a case-by-case basis. Trump's comments were part of a broader conversation where he criticized the current administration's handling of immigration and border security, promising a more stringent approach if re-elected.
