Ahead Of The Inauguration, US Elected President Donald Trump Promises Strict Immigration Restrictions

JAKARTA - United States President-elect Donald Trump said he would impose strict immigration restrictions on his first day in office, pledging to immediately fulfill the main promise of his presidential campaign, when he met thousands of supporters at Sunday evening local time events, a day after he was sworn in.

"At sunset tomorrow, the invasion of our country will stop," he said in the midst of cheers at the "Make America Great Again Victory Rally" at the Capital One Arena, Washington, as reported by Reuters on January 20.

Trump repeated his campaign promise to launch the biggest deportation attempt in US history, which will move millions of immigrants. However, such a large-scale operation is likely to take years and is very expensive.

"This is the largest political movement in American history, and 75 days ago, we achieved the most epic political victory our country has ever seen," he said.

"Starting tomorrow, I will act at a historic pace of strength and improve every crisis facing our country," he said.

Activities on Sunday and his inauguration address on Monday can be a preview of the tone he will apply during his second term at the White House.

In recent weeks, Trump has confused foreign allies by reflecting on taking over Greenland and the Panama Canal and turning Canada into the US state.

He promised to revoke "any radical and stupid executive order from the Joe Biden Administration" within hours of holding the presidency during the day local time.

A source familiar with the plan said Trump would take more than 200 executive actions on Monday.

Border security will be the main thing in Trump's first executive order, another source said, including classifying drug cartels as a "foreign terrorist organization," declaring a state of emergency on the US-Mexico border and moving towards restoring a "Stay in Mexico" policy that forces non-Mexico asylum seekers to wait in Mexico until their US court schedule.

Trump's deportation plans have left immigrants targeted for deportation uncomfortable, including some that immigrants say are law-abiding permanent residents with US spouses and children.

Trump said he would "expel the radical ideology that wakes up our military" and ordered the military to build missile defense shields over the US, although he has not provided details on how to implement them.

He also promised to release classified documents related to the assassination of President John F. Kennedy in 1963 and his brother Senator Robert Kennedy and civil rights leader Martin Luther King Jr., both in 1968.

The plan is that the Capital One Arena, which is used to hold hockey and basketball matches, will also host several inauguration parties on Monday, after severe cold weather forecasts prompted officials to move outdoor events.
