  • 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 the possibility of pardoning individuals involved in the January 6 Capitol riot. Trump suggested he would reinstate and expand the travel ban to include more countries, implement ideological screenings for immigrants, and potentially deport those with "jihadist sympathies." He also hinted at revisiting the issue of birthright citizenship. Regarding the January 6 rioters, Trump indicated he would consider pardons, arguing that many were unfairly treated and that their actions were a response to what he described as a "rigged election." This interview was conducted by Univision, marking his first major media appearance since the election, where he also touched on other topics like his legal battles and the state of the Republican Party.
